How to import uno with Python/macOS?

Post by pasza »

Any idea how to "import uno" within a Python script being managed by a system Python distribution?

Python 3.6.4 (default, Jan 6 2018, 11:51:15)
[GCC 4.2.1 Compatible Apple LLVM 9.0.0 (clang-900.0.39.2)] on darwin
>>> import uno
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uno'

Use the Python interpreter that is shipped with the Office suite. It is Python3 with LibreOffice and Python2 with OpenOffice.

Thanks. But there is no python at my AOO installation - how to get it?
> ll -1 /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/*python*
/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/pythonloader.py
/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/pythonloader.uno.dylib
/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/pythonloader.unorc
/Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/pythonscript.py
P.S. I'd still like to use a python interpreter chosen by me.

What about

Code: Select all

(PieceOfPathToThe_soffice.exe)\program\python-core-2.7.6
On Windows 10: LibreOffice 24.2 (new numbering) and older versions, PortableOpenOffice 4.1.7 and older, StarOffice 5.2

On my Xubuntu system, uno.py is at /opt/openoffice4/program; Normally, when a python script is opened as a macro in OpenOffice this is found automatically. If you wish to use it in the python interpreter (say for debugging), you should add that to your PYTHONPATH.

To find python on your computer, try "whereis python" and "which python" in a terminal (no quotes)

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

With no Python configuration on Mac OSX 9.5 and OpenOffice 3.2 I have
~ $ find /Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/ -name uno.py
/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app//Contents/basis-link/program/uno.py
~ $ whereis python
/usr/bin/python
~ $ python -V
Python 2.7.5
As a test, try Tools → Macros → Run macro → OpenOffice macros → pythonSamples → TableSample → createTable → Run
~ $ find /Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/ -name TableSample.py
/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app//Contents/basis-link/share/Scripts/python/pythonSamples/TableSample.py

That would seem to me to be a Python installation issue, not an OpenOffice issue.
