How can I read a twbx file in python

Question

I would like to produce some custom output with python with data from Tableau files but I dont have access to the Tableau server to run the 'Tabpy' library. Is there any other way to do it?

I hope this link helps you out: https://community.tableau.com/thread/152463

One of the posts in the thread mentioned the following which is worth exploring:

If you're looking to generate a TWBX dynamically, you should rename your .twbx file to .zip, extract the contents and you can do whatever you want with those in Python to dynamically create or adjust a workbook file. The structure / definition of the workbook file is just XML so no special code needed to read and parse that.
