This recipe download openoffice in your buildout, it can also (optional) create egg with pyuno and change the default python used by openoffice.

More info about Python UNO: http://udk.openoffice.org/python/python-bridge.html

We are using this to generate OpenOffice documents from zope/python

Buildout configuration:

Add this section to your buildout configuration:

[buildout]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 17)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

parts = ... your other parts ... openoffice ...

[openoffice] recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice

This will just download and install openoffice in your buildout

To create the pyuno egg add the fallowing config:

[openoffice]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 30)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes

To also change openoffice python, add the following config:

[openoffice]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 36)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes hack-openoffice-python = yes

By default it will fetch version OpenOffice 2.3 but you might want to install from another location or another version like this:

[openoffice]

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 43)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.

recipe = z3c.recipe.openoffice install-pyuno-egg = yes hack-openoffice-python = yes version = 2.3.1 download-url = ftp://ftp.openoffice.skynet.be/pub/ftp.openoffice.org/stable/2.3.1/OOo_2.3.1_LinuxIntel_install_en-US.tar.gz

Notes:

For this to work an OpenOffice process need to be running in background. As this require a X server and you don't want to install a real X server in a production environment you might want to use Xvfb. Here are the lines we use to start openoffice:

$ cd myBuildout
$ Xvfb :3 -ac -screen sn 800x600x16 &
$ ./parts/openoffice/program/soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;" -display :3 &
$ ./bin/instance start

This recipe only works with linux at the moment

To test pyuno (requires zopepy in buildout.cfg):

$ ./bin/zopepy

System Message: ERROR/3 (<string>, line 64)

Inconsistent literal block quoting.
>>> import pyuno

If you get the fallowing error:

"SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly"

Do:

$ ldconfig YOURBUILDOUTFOLDER/parts/openoffice/program
