Python package of Aspose.Tasks Cloud manipulate MS Project & Oracle Primavera files without any dependency. It is a paid API but free trial plan provides 150 API calls per month.

P.S: I work as support developer at Aspose.

You may find that you can achieve what you need using MPXJ although you will either need to be using a JVM-based Python (e.g. Jython) to work with the Java version of the library, or a CLR-based Python (e.g IronPython or Python.Net) to use the .Net version of the library, or you'll need to use a bridge library (e.g. JPype).

  1. You need to install pywin3 (Python for Windows extensions).
  2. You can operate on .mpp files.

Example:

import win32com.client

doc = 'C:\\Project1.mpp'
try:
  mpp = win32com.client.Dispatch("MSProject.Application")
  mpp.Visible = 1
  try:
    mpp.FileOpen(doc)
    proj = mpp.ActiveProject
    print proj.BuiltinDocumentProperties(11), ",", proj.BuiltinDocumentProperties(12)
  except Exception, e:
    print "Error", e
  mpp.FileSave()
  mpp.Quit()
except Exception, e:
  print "Error opening file",e
