Yes, leoBridge.
import leo.core.leoBridge as leoBridge
bridge = leoBridge.controller(gui='nullGui',
loadPlugins=False, # True: attempt to load plugins.
readSettings=False, # True: read standard settings files.
silent=False, # True: don't print signon messages.
verbose=False) # True: print informational messages.
g = bridge.globals()
print dir(bridge)
c = bridge.openLeoFile("/home/tbrown/Package/leo/leoweb/test.leo")
At this point you have c and g, but no interface. All the normal
c.selectPosition(), c.p.insertAsLastChild() etc. works.
