My personal experience with SharePoint has always been to use something
less painful :-) However, a quick Google turned up two packages in
PyPI: SharePlum (https://pypi.org/project/SharePlum/) and sharepoint
(https://pypi.org/project/sharepoint/). These may do a lot of the heavy
lifting for you. I suggest you have a quick browse through the
documentation and see if it makes sense for your needs.
