docx - Number of pages of a word document with Python

Question

Is there a way to get efficiently the number of pages of a word document (.doc, .docx) with Python ?

And for an .odt file ?

I want to use this for a web application based on Web2py on Linux.

Thank you !

from win32com.client import Dispatch
#open Word
word = Dispatch('Word.Application')
word.Visible = False
word = word.Documents.Open(doc_path)

#get number of sheets
word.Repaginate()
num_of_sheets = word.ComputeStatistics(2)
