I have the final python code working on the command line on Linux, where I interface to the shared library via ctypes in Python 2.5. But my OpenOffice 3.0.1 on Windows runs a Python 2.3.4 that does not have ctypes built-in :-/.
for a while we been trying to migrate OOo to Python 2.6, hopefully we can count on your help to make sure that everything compiles including ctypes.
Given that I will end up with a commercial add-in that will require ctypes I would definitely welcome the Python upgrade as it would simplify my deployment :-). I don't have any experience compiling OpenOffice but I can help a little by testing pre-release builds and check whether I see any issues in the little corner of the OOo API that I rummage around in.

Has the Python 2.6 support reached a stage where I can test a build ? Is it likely to be in 3.1 ?

Kind regards

Joerg Budischewski is currently working on the build as well as Eric Bachard, they would be able to help you out getting the compiles in shape. There is a tutorial on how to build OOo that would be helpful.

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Ooo-build

also helping us debug some of the Python misscompiles would be a good idea. We also have a student working on this task under the Education mailing list ([email protected]). You are also welcome to join and share notes.
