If you don't want to to use the Outlook Object Model, you are pretty much limited to either using a library like Aspose (it handles MSG files without having to install Outlook, but your mileage may vary) or Redemption (disclosure: I am its author) - it requires the MAPI system to be installed (which means Outlook must be installed), but it won't start Outlook if you are using RDOSession.CreateMsgFile (ollowed by setting various RDOMail properties and/or importing an existing MSG file using RDOMail.Import followed by RDOMail.Save.
Update per OP request.
I don't use Python, but in VB script it would be something like the following:
Set Session = CreateObject("Redemption.RDOSession")
set newMsg = Session.CreateMessageFromMsgFile("c:tempnew.msg")
newMsg.Import("c:temptemplate.msg", 3)
newMsg.Body = "updated body"
newMsg.Save

# Create an instance of the MapiMessage class and pass MailMessage as argument
outlookMsg = MapiMessage.from_mail_message(eml);
# Save the message (MSG) file
strMsgFile = "CreatingAndSavingOutlookMessages_out.msg"
outlookMsg.save(dataDir + strMsgFile);
