First things first.
First Python without any software monsters.
Then you have enough to learn about programming in general.
Finally you may find out that you can do so many useful stuff with Python and without any office suite.
If you still have a need for macro programming, then you may take the challenge and invest another two or three weeks of learning. But you may want to program LibreOffice rather than OpenOffice. OpenOffice is no longer under active development with an outdated Python2.
Please, edit this topic's initial post and add "[Solved]" to the subject line if your problem has been solved.
Ubuntu 18.04 with LibreOffice 6.0, latest OpenOffice and LibreOffice

I found "Object-Oriented Programming in Python Documentation" from this location
https://python-textbok.readthedocs.io/en/1.0/
to be very clear and helpful.
Apache OpenOffice 4.1.15 on Xubuntu 22.04.4 LTS
