--- Comment #7 from Rafael Lima <rafael.palma.l...@gmail.com> ---
I would like to share some findings that might help us come up with a solution
to install additional Python packages into LO.
On Ubuntu-based operating systems, if you install LO from their PPA,
LibreOffice will not be installed with the bundled Python. Instead LO will use
the same python used by the operating system. The PPA installation does not
have the "program/python.bin" that comes with the DEB file downloaded from
TDF's website.
For Ubuntu users that install LO from the PPA the problem reported here does
not exist. Packages as numpy come preinstalled in Ubuntu and any packages
installed using system-wide pip will be available in Python scripts launched by
LO.
After Alain drew my attention to this bug I did some testing on Ubuntu and I
was able to create a script using numpy, pyqt5 and ScriptForge and launched the
script from withing LO Calc. I created a PyQt5 dialog and had it interact with
the Calc file. Although this only works in Ubuntu using the PPA installation,
it shows that it is possible to use anything from Python from within LO. And
IMO this is very powerful specially for those working with data science, data
mining, and so forth.

I liked the idea of having the ability to install additional packages using
PIP.
However, another idea would be to have a Python setup dialog as the one we
currently have for JRE (in Tools - Options - Advanced). The user could use such
dialog to choose which Python interpreter to use.
