Export macro from office file

Question

Hi, I am trying to write a program that will recognize whether or not an office document (.doc, .xls, etc) has a macro in it, and if it does, to export that to a separate document. I need to do this in a platform independent way which means I cannot use VB. (I am developing in Python).

What I have found is a way to find the Macro within the file using an OLE model, but the text of a Macro appears jumbled. Heavily jumbled. I was wondering if there is some straightforward way to get this information out of the files.

Thank you,
Lealdo
