openoffice uno module not found

Chokkan · 2009-09-03 11:07:50

I have a small script which used to work fine but now exits with the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alex/.bin/planner1.py", line 69, in <module>
    import uno
ImportError: No module named uno

I have uno in /usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis3.1/program/uno.py along with a load of other uno type stuff. I've no idea how to fix this I'm afraid. Any ideas?
Here is my script, it just prints dates and puts them in a table:

#!/usr/bin/env python

Perhaps your paths are incorrect? Does this help?

$ locate uno.py
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/uno.py

$ sudo pacman -Qo /usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/uno.py
/usr/lib/openoffice/basis-link/program/uno.py is owned by openoffice-base 3.1.1-1

Hi, and thanks for the reply. I'm using go-openoffice, so perhaps that is where my problems lie. Here is my output for the commands you posted.

# locate uno.py
/usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis3.1/program/uno.py
# pacman -Qo /usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis3.1/program/uno.py
/usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis3.1/program/uno.py is owned by go-openoffice 3.1.0.99.3-1

I checked, and uno.py does exist in /usr/lib/go-openoffice/basis-link/program/ and it is also owned by go-openoffice.

Did you check the extension from the Openbox menu bar, "Tools > Extensions..."?

Does the script work if you place it in the same directory as uno.py?

Chokkan · 2009-09-06 22:20:14

I'm not familiar with Tools > Extensions, it's not in my menu.

I tried running it in the same directory, but still no luck.

I'm following this thread I found which seems to be a similar problem.
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=657832

If I export the paths, I can import uno, but I get a similar failure with com.sun.star. I'll keep trying.

I'm thinking that this may be a problem with go-openoffice in Arch. Would somebody mind trying it?

Well, there is no problem with this on Ubuntu, which I recently installed on my Aspire One. If I knew where to start with a bug report, I would like to help get this sorted but it seems not to be a problem for anyone else. I admit, it isn't the most critical module in Python. Anyway, just posting for posterity.
