--- Comment #14 from vibrationofl...@pm.me --- I am authoring OOO Development Tools https://github.com/Amourspirit/python_ooo_dev_tools. I had hopes that any package pypi.org package could be installed into LO. This is not the case. I have found it to be hit and miss to which packages will work. Also different on Windows and Linux. Any package that had dependencies not include in embedded python simply fail. For instance: There are some wonderful GUI packages for python that simply cannot be installed in LO embedded python due to embedded limitations. I wrote a tool just to help developers ( myself included ) who are writing python scripts for LO. (https://github.com/Amourspirit/python_lo_dev_search) Sadly this tool can't be installed in an environment set up for LO in Windows due to no sqlite3 support (limitation of embedded python) In my documentation I have to show user how to hack virtual environment on Windows and Linux, with Windows being more of an ugly hack, to get environment set up to develop more complex scripts (https://python-ooo-dev-tools.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) I have been considering writing some sort of custom installer to allow a macro to install its own dependencies. I have let this idea float around in my head for several months as I work on other parts. I am leaning towards not developing this sort of installer due the the complexities of embedded python and differences between Window and Linux implementation of python. Personally I see python as the way forward for LO scripting, in part because of the vast number of supporting libraries that have the potential to be installed if LO shipped with a full version of python. In short I am advocating LO ship with full python. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
