I saw this nice package called PyUNO at http://polysorbate.org/?work/pyuno (I am quoting:) PyUNO is a Python module that allows you to use OpenOffice.org's UNO objects as if they were Python objects. The licence is LGPL.
I wonder if anyone else on this list migth be interested in PyUNO. What do people on this list think about it? Maybe eventually making a pyuno debian pkg? I have not really had too much time yet to have a closer look at it (and I might not have the time in the future either). So far I can see this: The built requirements are at least ODK (== Office Development Kit) - a debian oo build-tree should be fine. When following the steps in the README one is supposed to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, PATH and first try to compile the c++ examples. I have found the appropriate directories in my build-tree as follows export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=.../build-tree/oo_1.0.1_src/product/unxlngi4.pro/bin/udk3.0.1/linux/lib export PATH=$PATH:.../build-tree/oo_1.0.1_src/product/unxlngi4.pro/bin/udk3.0.1/linux/bin still had some difficulties though compiling the c++ examples in .../build-tree/oo_1.0.1_src/product/unxlngi4.pro/bin/udk3.0.1/examples Andreas
