Will OpenOffice IDE ever support Python?
Posted: Fri Jan 23, 2015 5:14 pm
After reading a lot of praise for Python on these boards, a while back I looked into actually using it with OpenOffice - and while I got some "hello world" type code working, for any of my actual projects I was thoroughly stymied by the lack of an IDE, the lack of any built-in messagebox-type feature for debugging, and the complexity of embedding code within a document (and conversely of extracting it for editing). I agree with the Python advocates that the syntax for Basic is technically inferior... I'm just really attached to that IDE.
I looked on Bugzilla and found a couple of feature requests:
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=60849
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=75132
Neither of them has any significant number of votes, and neither has any activity since 2006/2007.
I also found a somewhat more recent wiki page (creation and last activity August 2013): PyUNO Project: UNO IDLE
Is this just so difficult and/or unrewarding that no dev is interested in working on it?
