In my opinion -- and it is ONLY my opinion -- the smartest place to
begin a new project today is with Python 2.7.  The third-party library
support is still too spotty in Python 3.  It's getting there, but it's
not there yet.  (It is actually taking longer than I expected.)

Remember that Python doesn't know anything about Project.  You will be
interactive with the Project application as a COM server.  Python (with
PyWin32) understands how to communicate with COM servers, but you won't
find anything specific about Python and Project.  You will need to
translate the Project object model documentation from C++ or C# to Python.

It's usually not that hard.  There are LOTS of examples of controlling
Word and Excel from Python, and the concepts are very similar.
