Hi Seth,

I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve.

OOo should have PyUno and - if it is a build provided by Oracle - its
own version of Python and both should fit to each other. Admittedly I'm
not completely sure about that, if you have bad luck, even the Oracle
builds didn't contain an own Python. But if you build OOo by yourself,
you should be able to make sure that OOo's own copy of Python is used in
the build (and thus put into the installation set) and not the version
of the system. See what configure offers you with regard to Python.

Mathias

 HI Mathias,
 
 Thanks for the information. Perhaps, I should tell you why I want to

 I am trying to get PyUno working so that I can read and interface with
 .doc and .docx files (e.g. highlight certain words in documents, such as
 proper names) while they are being viewed by users in MsWord. The
 problem is that PyUno links against Python2.3 and, therefore, I cannot
 run it on Mac OS X 10.7.1: 10.7.1 does not have Python2.3 in its
 complete form, and, at any rate, I wouldn't want to use that Python
 version because it would prevent imports of other modules requiring
 later Python versions. PyUno, then, must be made to link against either
 Python 2.6.7 or Python 2.7, the Python versions I have on my system.
 But, how to do this?
 
 I read here, at
 http://www.mail-archive.com/mac@porting.openoffice.org/msg03582.html, that: 
 
 Those who build OOo by themselves will be able to just use
 --with[out]-system-python, but only very, very few Mac users will
 build their own copy of OOo. Thus it is important to decide on the
 default, what the installsets offered from www.openoffice.org will
 include (or not include)
 
 At this stage, I have downloaded the entire repository for OOo. Is there
 a way to selectively build just the PyUno Module? Also, do you have any
 suggestions as to where I can begin? I am a newbie and am becoming
 somewhat overwhelmed at what has become quite a daunting task.
 
 Thanks, in advance, for any help you can provide.
 
 Sincerely,
 
 Seth
 
 
 BTW: building OOo on Mac OS X 10.7 is not easy. It doesn't work out of
 the box. You have at least to back to the 10.4 SDK and XCode 3.2.6.

What I can't figure out from the use case is why isn't Seth 
developing a plug-in for Microsoft Word if it is about Word documents and
Microsoft Word is being used to view the document already?

So, what else is there to the use case that would make it clear why
code from OO.o is needed?

[dev] Re: Problems downloading source through Mercurial

2011-10-10 Thread Seth Shich 

I was under the impression that I could use OOo's PyUno to read and manipulate 
.doc and .docx files from Python and even to interact with those files while 
they are opened. Is this not correct? If it is, I would prefer to use Python 
because of its natural language processing capabilities (e.g. NLTK). Also, if I 
can avoid having to spend between $600 and $1,000 to read .doc and .docx 
through Microsoft Visual Studio, I would certainly prefer to do so.

OpenOffice source code has been moved to apache.org and I guess 
repositories too. I don't remember the exact links but I think you have 
a fair chance of getting started at:

This is an svn repository that carries the code for the next OOo release
that will be the first from an Apache tipi.

If you want to work on the current code base, there's a copy of the old
Mercurial OOo repository at bitbucket:

https://bitbucket.org/mst/ooo340

I'm surprised to see that the hg.services.openoffice.org server is down.
There was no announcement for that, so probably it's just a temporary
problem. Nevertheless, you can use bitbucket as a replacement.
