Open Office Embbed Python

[Heiner Wang]

Hello,

Is it possible to run python code in the embedded python of Open
Office?
If so this will provide a UNO bridge for Ruby. Currently OLE is the
only way, which will be restricted to Windows platform.

I don't really know. The way I'm doing it is to write a Ruby C
extension which wraps the Python C API.

It means that actually you call the Python functions in the Python DLL from a ruby extension, right?

 

So if I can compile this ruby extension but link it to the Python DLL that Open Office provided, it is possible that this is going to work, right?

Ah yes. I don't know if will work at not. I'm not sure if the Open Office Python DLL provides the some API as the standalone python library. It would require some changes to be made to the extconf.rb though. I don't think it would work as a gem install, but you might be able to tweak it to work. The C extension code does include the Python headers though. I'm not sure if open office comes with those. You're welcome to try it out though. Let me know how it goes.
