I've been learning that the "not my problem" response means one needs
to find the person above them that controls the purse strings.

This would be good to know; what, if anything, has improved with 2.0.

My justifications:

 1) You still can't have a distribution with more than one python file.
For example, I can't have a python script that includes another file
that isn't in the python std library.  This came up again just last
week.

 2) It's compiled specifically against the python that ships with OOo,
which means to get around (1) you need to install any modules to the
main OOo site-packages, which is non trivial.

 3) Importing binary packages often failed, even if they were
distributed with the OOo python (eg socket, regular expressions, etc)
Joerg's response was:  The std library is not my problem.  Not sure if
this has been fixed or not.

I can come up with more, if desired, but that's enough in my opinion for
me to declare it 'not usable for non-trivial projects'.

I wonder what his justification was for saying that. As far as I know pyUNO is 
being used in many production environments.

[dev-biblio] python-uno bridge status?

2005-10-14 Thread Bruce D'Arcus
For those of you doing any work with Python, could you perhaps update 
me on the status of the Python support in OOo, particularly with 
respect to the UNO bridge?  Rob has reported it was basically unusable 
awhile back.  Am just wondering if that has improved with 2.0, or if we 
need to do some work to promote getting that fixed.
