Actually OO.o doesn't require Java. It uses Java for some fringe functionality, such as various wizards (File -> Wizards) and one not-so-fringe functionality (Base). OO.o works just fine without JVM installed. As with Python, OO.o ships with its own version of Python interpreter (though it's probably an install-time option). So, the presence of Python interpreter is, although not guaranteed, more likely than the presence of JVM on a given system, especially on a UNIX based system.
