Do not update to Trac's Python to 3.x. That will definitely break things.
Or do you mean to update to 2.7.10? That might be less of a problem, but
you might still need to recreate eggs etc. I'm not sure.

Thanks, Peter.
I'm a little further along now. I started LibreOffice from the command
line in the way you suggested - thanks! So simple. It's there but the
plugin still isn't working. Looking back at the documentation I
realised I'd forgotten about the ooextract.py script, which must be
located on the path. I dropped in the script and it runs but can't
import 'uno'.
'uno' seems to be a tool that allows you to interact with Libreoffice.
Clearly, I will need it.
It looks like I'll have to update my python version before I install
'uno' (I'm at 2.7.6). At least my version of LibreOffice seems acceptable.
If I update my python version I'm afraid I might break Trac, which
everyone else in the office depends on. What's the conventional wisdom
here? Should I be afraid, very afraid, or will it probably just work?
Cheers, Ita

I have not used docrenderplugin. From looking at the script it
seems you
can just start LibreOffice directly instead of using the script:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 4\program\soffice.exe" --headless
--nologo --nofirststartwizard --nodefault
"--accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext"
This starts a LibreOffice "in the background". I think that should be
enough to get the plugin working.

But the above is not as a "real" Windows Service. If you need
that, you
can apparently just wrap the above command in a generic Windows
Service
wrapper like srvany.exe from the Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit:

<http://www.tonido.com/support/display/cloud/Running+Openoffice+as+a+service+in+Windows>
(This page uses OpenOffice but I assume the same also works for
LibreOffice.)
You could maybe also try nssm (instead of srvany.exe):
