Am now on the third Open Office 4 installation this week, direct from their site, ensuring 'Python Uno' is selected. Whether running 

C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\python-core-2.7.6\bin\python.exe

directly or setting it as the Eclipse interpreter

import uno

keeps giving 

no module named uno

Whether browsing or searching the OOo python-core2.7.6 folder in the OS, the module can't be found. A 4 year old post had the same issue, and according to the docs it should be there. How do you install or activate PyUno in LibreOffice?

Any thoughts? Regards

On Linux uno requires python3.
I see no reason why it would be any different on windows.
Try using python3

  • That's true for Linux. On Windows it's python.exe whether the version is Python 2 or 3. – Jim K Sep 12 '15 at 18:02
  • It might well be called python.exe but there must be one for python 2 and another for python 3, or we live in a mad mad world. – Rolf of Saxony Sep 13 '15 at 08:52

    Well, they are at different locations. Anyway it is different on Windows, because python comes bundled with the OpenOffice installer. See [here](https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=36370&p=166783) for a discussion. – Jim K Sep 14 '15 at 17:01
  • @JimK Excellent, the more secondary documentation, in this case, the better! – Rolf of Saxony Sep 14 '15 at 18:25

Is there a directory C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\python-core-2.7.6? If not then you need to select the option to install the Python-UNO bridge when installing OpenOffice.

On Windows the paths need to be set up correctly. Try this in powershell:

c:
cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\OpenOffice 4\program\"
./python
>>> import uno

If that works then you can modify the PYTHONPATH environment variable to include the OpenOffice program directory as well as the path to your script.
