virtualenv has to be created with option --system-site-packages as it needs to use system site-packages which has uno module installed by $ sudo apt-get install python3-uno, on Ubuntu. (Unfortunately, uno module is not available from pip.)

The code is based on Christopher5106’s tutorial (many thanks to him):

How it works

• we open LibreOffice with socket open

• we use Python to send commands to LibreOffice through the socket (you should use iptables to block incoming connection on the specified TCP port for security reason)

To open LibreOffice with socket open, use the command line below:

libreoffice \
  --accept="socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ServiceManager"
