IfcOpenshell is a good interface to read BIM Ifc files from different software, it is written in C++ as well as Python, however I haven't found enough documentation on IfcOpenShell for Python, Is there a good tutorial or documentation on how to read IFC files and get geometries and so on using Python Ifcopenshell module ?

Hello,
I'm too facing similar problem. There is little documentation available for IfcOpenshell. Attached here is a model implementation guide for Ifc schema 2X. But even that's not written with the proper illustration. But still you may take a look over it.
You can find bit more documentation over GiHub. Here is a link for it, https://github.com/IfcOpenShell/IfcOpenShell
You may find few examples here written in C++ and Python.
Hope this is useful.
Thanks!
All the best!
This sample code by Kianwee Chen is a good place to start:

Although I had (and still having) the same challenge, a functional IDE helped me a lot to explore the structure, classes, objects and results of the IfcOpenShell and its dependecies.
I strongly suggest to use debugging tool of PyCharm IDE. Community edition will be more than enough
