I would recommand wordml 2003 over RTF... I did that in the past with lxml once you had get a grip of the name space of the xml format and figure out what the note you need and how to assemble them to make a properly formatted wordml it easy... But things like python-docx where not existing when I did that or I didn't research enough or they were in there infancy so I couldn't rely on them. I remember there where a functional python package for docx but it was a wrapper around OpenOffice lib that does the job, so it was a kind of big/bad dependency to cary...
