Summary: openoffice can not execute python scripts
Keywords:  
Status Whiteboard: 
Opened: 2006-02-24 09:59 0000
Description:   Opened: 2006-02-24 09:59 0000 
This is for app-office/openoffice-bin

When try to open a document with python script openoffice says
"Message: The scripting language Python is not supported".

After an investigation I found that openoffice looks for python in
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/python-core
but there is no such directory there after installation.
There is only
/usr/lib/openoffice/program/python-core-2.3.4

I made a link /usr/lib/openoffice/program/python-core -> python-core-2.3.4

After that if I start ooffice2 from terminal and try to execute python script I
see the following:
$ oowriter2 push_me_python4.odt 
'import site' failed; use -v for traceback

I fixed it by adding the line
delete $ENV{'PYTHONPATH'};
into
/usr/bin/ooffice2

before
# And here we go.
exec "$SystemInstallDir/program/soffice", @ooo_argv

Patch to create a python-core link

Good catch, but I've only added the second patch (the one for the wrapper) to
our package, cause I can't reproduce the first one, it works fine for me
without the symlink. Maybe this was a temporary problem in RC2, please try if
rc4 works now for you

------- Comment #7 From Andrey 2006-03-04 10:22:42 0000 ------- 
I tested RC4 and it works right out of a box, I mean after emerge
openoffice-bin.
Thanks.
