[Solved] NoConnectException

[mrcactu5]

I tried following the pyUno tutorial on this page: http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html

It gives me this problem:

File "oo_helloworld.py", line 11, in ?
ctx = resolver.resolve( "uno:socket, host = localhost, port= 2002; urp; StarOffice.ComponentContext" )
__main__.com.sun.star.connection.NoConnectException: Connector: couldn't connect to socket (WSAECONNREFUSED, Connection Refused)

I pretty much copy-pasted the code from the web site above, so it should work. What might I be doing wrong?

did you start openoffice and set it to accept connections on that port?

something like: c:\Program Files\OpenOffice1.1\program> soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" for windows
the command is the same for linux, but you have to find the directory for 'soffice'

if you have not done this, this may be the problem.

We eventually got it to work. Restarting the computer and installing the most recent version 2.3 seem to have done the trick. Also... you have to open Writer yourself.
Danny's Python modules are good : http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=14409 and here is an example using that module. http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic ... 6037#56037

• in Danny's version you listen to port 8100,
  you have to open run Python in OpenOffice\Program,
  you have to use OpenOffice's version of Python with .\Python
  if you import Danny's module you have to put "Danny.Ooo.OOoLib" in front of all the methods
  Be sure to change the outpul file name in Danny's example to a folder that actually exists on your computer.
  etc

but all of this can be really confusing for the beginner. [SOLVED.]

seems 3.0 has something similar ...

at the top of the script type

import socket

which will lead you to the second problem which is

AttributeError: getCurrentComponent

look to see
