But I have been able to use both 2.4 and 2.5 python on openoffice 3. I created a pth file to point to the uno.py folder and it works for me. That will be my suggestion to the reader instead of helping them find the file. While I'm doing that I'll publish a screencast of Larry's front end to Paul's report writer. I like it and it's another example of a real world app. Thanks for the discussion.

Back onto the topic at hand, I think at least in years past OpenOffice bundled a specific python that *had* to be used with the py-uno bridge. Perhaps the system python can be used now but they still prefer you use the Python that comes with OpenOffice, which would explain why they don't install uno.py in the system python's site-packages. Not sure what to recommend as far as packaging uno.py, as it depends on OpenOffice and I sure wouldn't want to bundle OpenOffice in an app I distribute. So I see John's quandary.

It depends on the usr and the directory. The code could barf if it hit a directory for which the user does not have read privs. I just tried it on my machine: [...@homer ~]$ find /usr -iname uno.py find: /usr/local/pgsql/data: Permission denied find: /usr/share/wikid/help/de.lproj/wiki: Permission denied find: /usr/share/wikid/help/en.lproj/wiki: Permission denied find: /usr/share/wikid/help/fr.lproj/wiki: Permission denied find: /usr/share/wikid/help/ja.lproj/wiki: Permission denied So it looks like it will hit some bumps.

If that is true then reading anything under /usr is possible - right? Works on Linux and windows (just change the starting location for windows). But I'm always open to better code. os.sep is much better - thanks. The problem with uno.py is it does not following standard python practice. On linux (ubuntu and openSUSE) uno.py is in "/usr/lib/ooo3/basis3.1/program" and there is no pth file created from the install of openoffice. Windows is similar. So I was hoping I could find the file and add the path to PythonPath. I don't have a Mac but I was hoping to again to just find the file (assuming the openoffice install did not register the file). And again add the location to the path. But it sounds like that will not work? I'm writing the article on how to use Dabo with openoffice. I'm also setting up an openoffice server/client environment using two computers. It's geeky cool to be able to create a doc (and print it) on a server anywhere on the lan or wlan. Anyway I think it's cool.

Possibly, but there are several things there that are problematic. First, assuming that the user has access rights to /usr is never smart. Second, Mac apps are typically self-contained; if uno.py is needed for the app, it will be contained in the Resources subdirectory inside the app itself, rather than installed in a system location. Third, you should use os.sep instead of hard-coding '/' as the path separator. Lastly, does this actually work in Linux? Doesn't os.walk automatically recurse? It seems that you have recursion inside of recursion. -- Ed Leafe ___ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/1ced3c76-ef73-4e51-a696-d096e8e31...@leafe.com
[dabo-users] will this work for a Mac?
I'm writing an article for the wiki and was wondering if the below code will
work on a Mac to find the file 'uno.py'.
import os
myflag = False
for direct in os.walk('/usr'):
for wds in direct[1]:
pathlist = '/usr/' + wds
for x in os.walk(pathlist):
for fn in x[2]:
if fn == 'uno.py':
path_to_file = x[0]+'/'+fn
myflag= True
print path_to_file
break
if myflag:
break
if myflag:
break
