It is in regard to TDF.

No. TDF does not "represent" the OpenDocument format, but it provides 
LibreOffice which is an application that uses the OpenDocument format as 
main format.

TDF is not responsible for those packages nor is it OASIS.

Are you willing to help in development? Then you should get in contact 
with the developers of those packages. 
https://opendocumentformat.org/developers/ lists four packages. Perhaps 
those are suitable for you?

Why do you need a Python package instead of using LibreOffice? The API 
of LibreOffice can be used from Python.

In case Java is OK for you and you need something independent from 
LibreOffice, you might have a look at ODF Toolkit 
https://tdf.github.io/odftoolkit/

As far as I know, currently no such project exists under the umbrella of 
TDF.

Kind regards,
