I am exploring using techniques like in http://www.oooninja.com/2008/02/batch-command-line-file-conversion-with.html and http://www.artofsolving.com/opensource/pyodconverter for converting docs into other formats. The scripts imply that you should use the python that comes with ooffice. I have looked where they suggest and do not see a python program. Is OpenOffice on openSUSE 11.0 different in that respect? I have these packages installed: OpenOffice_org-icon-themes-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-pyuno-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-thesaurus-en-20060111-55.1 OpenOffice_org-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-calc-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-a4-1.0-11.1 OpenOffice_org-branding-openSUSE-2.4-17.1 OpenOffice_org-kde-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-base-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-filters-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-templates-labels-letter-1.0-11.1 OpenOffice_org-hyphen-20080414-10.1 OpenOffice_org-writer-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-impress-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-Quickstarter-1.0-674.1 OpenOffice_org-templates-presentation-layouts-2.0.4-90.1 OpenOffice_org-draw-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-templates-en-2.0.4-88.1 OpenOffice_org-math-2.4.0.14-1.1 OpenOffice_org-mailmerge-2.4.0.14-1.1 It looks like lots of python and UNO stuff exists in /usr/lib/ooo-2.0/program, but not the python program. My goal is to use subversion hooks to catch commits of items tagged in certain ways and convert them and make them available somewhere for general use. Given the complexity of it all, it will probably work. It is the simple things that get me every time... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
