librid 0.0.2

A simple python layer for ScriptForge

For Ubuntu:

apt install python3-scriptforge

Start a listening LibreOffice instance

/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice --accept='socket,host=your_host,port=port_number;urp;'

• replace your_host and port_number.
• add --invisible to run in background.
• after running your python scripts kill the process (e.g. with ctrl + C)

Workdir

In src directory mkdir workdir workdir/input workdir/output workdir/temp or change the predefined paths in src/core/document.py. (Maybe create a directory structure somewhere on your computer for these kind of tasks and create symlinks - idk yet.)

Interactivity

When you start a listening LibreOffice instance you can use it interactively via the Python REPL. In Visual Studio Code there is a Run Selection/Line in Python REPL option. The shortcut for it is Shift+Enter. You don't have to build the whole project every time, also you can catch data in variables once and work with it (e.g. only one API call is enough to work with the response). If you want to see the LibreOffice results in realtime do not use the --invisible switch.
