OpenOffice (now LibreOffice, btw.) is not implemented in Java, if that's what you mean. It _is_ scriptable in Python, however there doesn't seem to be any documentation available. Ask on the Libreoffice-users list. > Has there been any talk of doing another similar office suite, or > maybe just writer + spreadsheet, in a better language eg python? You wouldn't implement "Office"-style software entirely in Python. Other FOSS "Office"-style software apart from LibreOffice is, e.g. Abiword and GNUmeric. Both are scriptable in Python as well, iirc. And, of course, there's LyX (also scriptable in Python), which I do prefer a L-O-T over "word processor" applications for writing. And there is Pyspread.
