Using python to edit and run idf files. Any experience?

I want to use a Python script to call EnergyPluse and run it. I was able to do it using this code:

    import subprocess
    path_to_energyplus = r"C:\EnergyPlusV22-1-0\EP-Launch.exe"
    path_to_idf = r"C:\Example.idf"
    command = [path_to_energyplus, path_to_idf]
    result = subprocess.run(command)

Now, my objective is to read and edit heating and cooling setpoints schedules in the Python script. Any help, idea, and comment is appreciated.
