Hi, Sybren. I tried folloing your recipe on Windows with OOo 2.0 ... Minor problem: the executable is called soffice, not ooffice. Major problem: it crashed right at the start, somewhere in the maze of dlls. The following interactive session reproduces the problem: | C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program\python-core-2.3.4\bin>python # OOo includes a complete python distribution. Note the directory name says 2.3.4 ... | Python 2.3.5 (#62, Feb 8 2005, 16:23:02) [MSC v.1200 32 bit (Intel)] on win32 ... but the program identifies itself as 2.3.5 | Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. | >>> import sys | >>> sys.path.append(r'C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.0\program') # The above directory contains all the dlls plus a handful of python files | >>> import pyuno # from pyuno.dll; there's no other pyuno.* | >>> _g_ctx = pyuno.getComponentContext() # crash Has anyone managed to get further than this on Windows (XP Pro, SP 2)?
