Thanks for your interest in the OOo internship program. Please follow
the instructions how to apply on

OOo uses UNO our own component middleware technology to communicate
between different language environments. We have already a Python
language binding. And we have a scripting framework that allows the
usage of different scripting languages similar to Basic. But the usage
is more complicate because we have no deep integration of these other
scripting languages in the office. Well there is a lot of space for
improvements.
As far as i understand this project. It's more the focus on a
convenience layer to simply often used tasks etc.
I personally can also think about some IDE integration of Python to
simplify the creation, debugging, deployment of Python scripts.
Anyway, Eric please correct me if i am wrong. You have probably some
more details what you expect from this project.

Improve (Python) scriptabilityHello Eric
I am Arijit, a senior at Birla Institute of Technology, Mesra, India and
will be graduate this coming month. I am interested in applying for
openoffice.org's summer intership program.
I am very much interested in working on the project titled : Improve
(Python) scriptability, that aims to provide Python with direct access to
OOo's certain core functionalities and thus add Python-ic support to OOo.
I was exposed to wrapper functions for Python during last year's Google
Summer of Code. My last year's Summer of Code project dealt with
implementation of a canvas based GUI modeller for ASCEND. In this project
the front-end GUI was developed in PyGTK where as the core ASCEND back-end
was purely C++ ( with STL ). And intercommunication between Python and C++
was done using SWIG generated wrapper functions.
I like Python very much and work mainly with it. I would like to learn more
about wrapper function generation and provide Python with wrapper functions
that allows it to directly access some of the OOo's core functionalities.
Hence, I am very much interested in this project idea and would like to work
on it. I would like to discuss this project in more details with the project
mentor(s).
I would be highly grateful if you could give me any
recommendations/suggestions to begin with.
Looking forward to hear from you
Thanks and Cheers
Arijit
