(1) It can, at least once there was an integration of pyuno into the
Scripting Framework. Joerg Budischewsky, the "inventor" of pyuno
announced it a year ago on [EMAIL PROTECTED] It should work with
any version since OOo2.0 Beta. I never used it so I don't know how good
it works. But basically you can use Python as a macro language, it is
not integrated into the OOo GUI of course (no IDE).

(2) The completeness of the API doesn't depend on the programmming
language. I think you wanted to express something different. Could you
please elaborate?

If you compare OOo to MSO: I doubt that the OOo API is much harder to
learn, maybe harder to start diving in. Admittedly that's not relevant
for many because they already know the Word or Excel API or at least how
they can use it in VBA.
