How Do You Install Or Activate Pyuno In Libreoffice?

How do you make Python (any Python) know about PyUno in LibreOffice? When I do: import uno python says that it knows no module 'uno'. (This question came up re. this question.)

Solution 1:

(UPDATING for 2014's)

Perhaps the most used UNO application is document conversion... For this task, in nowadays, you not need UNO, you can use directly

libreoffice --convert-to

About UNO itself, see the new home page, http://api.libreoffice.org/

A good example of using python3-uno (or python-uno) is the Docvert conversor (Docvert for py2).

Solution 2:

As said in the response to your comment there: it's an optional installable component for OpenOffice. See the Introduction to Python on OOo page in OpenOffice's Wiki for installation details

Solution 3:

I am having the same issue with ubuntu 14.04 and python 2.7.6.

But if you are using ubuntu 12.04, try using sudo apt-get install python-uno.

Solution 4:

Here's what I did:

inside the LibreOffice directory, there is a "program" directory with a python.exe, if I use that python (which is at version 2.6.1), I can import uno.

Solution 5:

For Debian, Ubuntu, and derivates:

sudo apt install libreoffice-script-provider-python
