I don't actually know at this stage if 2.0 supports LO4, but I know that
2.1 doesn't work with 4.0 at all.

Title:
LibreOffice 4.0 support
Status in OpenLP - Worship Presentation Software:
New
Status in OpenLP trunk series:
New
Bug description:
Since libreoffice 4.0 is in beta stage, I think we should start
looking at supporting it in the presentation plugin.
According to the release notes
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.0
these changes could cause openlp to not work with libreoffice 4:
- "The bundled Python was upgraded from Python 2.6 to Python 3.3" -
libreoffice 4 integration will probably work only with python 3
- some api changes/removals/deprecations
One solution could be to not use UNO-python but use the ctypes module
from python that is able call directly functions from C/C++ libraries.
I think that with ctypes we could support multiple libreoffice
versions without worrying about UNO and python incompatibilities.
To ease the creation of ctypes bindings for libreoffice we could look
at a tool ctypesgen that could generate pure python bindings from
supplied C/C++ headers.
