Answer 1

You can use this function

from docx import Document

document = Document('YOUR_DOCX')

def Delete_column_in_table(table, columns):
    table = document.tables[table]
    grid = table._tbl.find("w:tblGrid", table._tbl.nsmap)
    for cell in table.column_cells(columns):
        cell._tc.getparent().remove(cell._tc)
    col_elem = grid[columns]
    grid.remove(col_elem)

Delete_column_in_table(0, 0)

document.save('OUT.docx')
