How to find and iterate list lead in and children in a word document using python?

Hi Team,
I am trying to find and iterate lists in an word documents using aspose words python library.

Current approach :
I have tried iterating all paragraphs and filtering list items using is_list_item method.
Further I try to extract list level using list_level_number, but it is failing in few cases(attached document).

import aspose.words as aw

license = aw.License()
license.set_license("license_path")

doc = aw.Document("test.docx")

for para in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True):
    if para.as_paragraph().is_list_item:
        list_level = para.as_paragraph().list_format.list_level_number

Is there a preferred/better way of doing this ?
Can you please help me solve this problem. I have attached a test document.

test.docx (11.9 KB)

@anshuman.tiwari1 Do you need to get actual list items labels? If so you can use the following code:

doc = aw.Document("C:\\Temp\\in.docx")
# Update list labels to make them accessible through Paragraph.list_label property.
doc.update_list_labels()

# print list items labels
for p in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.PARAGRAPH, True) :
    p = p.as_paragraph()
    if p.is_list_item:
        print(p.list_label.label_string)
