Holy crap, a PE :-). Welcome aboard Charles. Let's see if this does the trick:

def process_shape(shape):
    '''extracts faces from a shape
    note: if this doesnt work you should try process_face(shape)
    returns a list of faces'''
    faces = []
    explorer = TopExp_Explorer(shape, TopAbs_FACE)
    while explorer.More():
        face = TopoDS().Face(explorer.Current())
        faces.append(face)
        explorer.Next()
    return faces

def process_face(face):
    '''traverses a face for wires
    returns a list of wires'''
    wires = []
    explorer = TopExp_Explorer(face, TopAbs_EDGE)
    while explorer.More():
        edge = TopoDS().Edge(explorer.Current())
        wire = BRepBuilderAPI_MakeWire(edge).Wire()
        wires.append(wire)
        explorer.Next()
    return wires

At least, this might get you a good head start: check out the
TopExp_Explorer class for sure. Another good technique is to use
bpython-interpreter.org, which can really help figure out pythonOCC's
deep internals without too much pain. Also, some of us pythonOCC users
are in #hplusroadmap on irc.freenode.net if you would like real-time
support over IRC.
