i try it this way:

First, your subscriber must use a callback, I suggest trying the ROS publisher subscriber tutorial.

I suppose you want to get the orientation in the Euler angle format (rotations around the x-y-z axis). Once you're able to receive the message through the callback, you can use the following code to access the angles.

import tf
orientation_euler = tf.transformations.euler_from_quaternion( odom_msg.pose.pose.orientation)
# use the angles with orientation_euler.x, orientation_euler.y, orientation_euler.z
