[Solved] Adding pythonw.exe to OOo3's python

[dream2k9]

Hi,

I'm trying to understand how can I add "pythonw.exe" shipped with the official python 2.6 distribution to the OOO3's python. I have done some test, for example, copying pythonw.exe to the OOO3 python's, without any success.

Any ideas or useful pointer?

I'm running OOO3 on a winxp system. The official python release I'm using is the 2.6.1, the same of OOO3 one.

Thank you in advance and Happy New Year ,
Simone

The shipped python.exe (placed in the program directory, not in the python-core-version\bin) with the OOo sets a few environment variables to work correctly.
"PATH" for to find libpyuno.so file and load it to work. "URE_BOOTSTRAP" is used to load UNO components. "UNO_PATH" is used to start OOo, this variable is optional, I think.
You can know these variables on your python like the following code:

Code: Select all

import os
print(os.environ['PATH'])
print(os.environ['URE_BOOTSTRAP'])
print(os.environ['UNO_PATH'])

I can connect to OOo through another python installation with these variables.

Hi Hanya,

Tomorrow I will try to:

1. install oo3 on a clean XP machine
2. Install the official python 2.6.4 [1]
3. add vars you indicated to my environment( system properties-variables).
4. start c:\python26\python.exe and c:\python26\pythonw.exe to try "import uno".

[1] I verified that if you install the official python, when you launch ``c:\programmi\oo3...\program\python.exe``, the python interpreter shows that is using the "python 2.6.4 core" and more the 2.6.1 shipped with ooo3. What version of core shows to you the ooo3's python?

I found that under windows the libpyuno.so is renamed in c:\programmi\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program\pyuno.pyd

Code: Select all

import os
print(os.environ['PATH'])
print(os.environ['URE_BOOTSTRAP'])
print(os.environ['UNO_PATH'])

Here is what I did (thanks very much hanya for help!)

1. installed ooo3
2. installed the official python 2.6.4 to c:\python26
3. configured the windows environment ADDING the variables URE_BOOTSTRAP and UNO_PATH and modifying the PATH variable as follows :

Code: Select all

URE_BOOTSTRAP    vnd.sun.star.pathname:C:\Programmi\OpenOffice.org 3\program\fundamental.ini
UNO_PATH    C:\Programmi\OpenOffice.org 3\program\
PATH    C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\python26;C:\Programmi\OpenOffice.org 3\URE\bin;C:\Programmi\OpenOffice.org 3\Basis\program;c:\GTK2\bin;c:\GTK2\lib;

4. Added a .pth file in c:\python26\Lib\site-packages\uno.pth with the following content :

Code: Select all

c:\\programmi\\OpenOffice.org 3\\Basis\program

Now I can launch my gtk apps with pythonw.exe and import the uno module

Hi, has anyone been able to replicate this feat under Mac Os X (Snow Leopard 10.6.2)?

I did as follows:
1) edited environment variables

Code: Select all

UNO_PATH=/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/program/
URE_BOOTSTRAP=vnd.sun.star.pathname:/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/program/fundamentalrc
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/program:/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/basis-link/ure-link/bin

2) addes uno.pth to /Library/Python/2.6/site-packages/uno.pth with content

Code: Select all

/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents/program

at this point I run system default python (snow leopard comes preinstalled with 2.6.1, and when I try "import uno" I get the dreaded

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named uno

I don't have MacOSX environment but "LD_LIBRARY_PATH" is used on UNIX like environment to find libpyuno.so that is differ with the Windows PATH.

2. Have you tried to add the path to the uno.py manyally?

Code: Select all

import sys
sys.path.append(path to the directory of the uno.py)
import uno
