PyUNO doesn't implement any API, it just provides a binding to access
it. That's a big difference.

Perhaps you mean that pyuno doesn't support all API elements, but IMHO
it supports even more elements than OOo Basic (if not everything). As an
example, you can't deal with exceptions in Basic and you can't implement
objects with it (not really at least). Both is possible with pyuno. I
don't know anything you can do in OOo Basic but not in pyuno.

That's what I mean: it could be harder at the start, but any serious
user that works with the API more than just a few days shouldn't have
more problems with the OOo API than with the MSO API.

The problem is the start, we need more documentation to make it easier.
Hopefully the new developer documentation contest helps us to make a
step forward.
