Installation

CONDA

ooouno on Anaconda

$ conda install -c conda-forge ooouno

For LibreOffice <= 7.2

$ conda install -c conda-forge ooouno==0.1.13

PIP

ooouno PyPI

$ pip install ooouno

For LibreOffice <= 7.2

pip install ooouno==0.1.13

Usage

All class found in LO API are recreated in this library.

For instance:

from ooo.dyn.style.line_spacing import LineSpacing is equivalent to

from com.sun.star.style import LineSpacing

from ooo.cssdyn.style import LineSpacing is equivalent to

from com.sun.star.style import LineSpacing

Namespace

There are four namespaces representing LO API in this library.

ooo.lo

Namespace ooo.lo contains all static python classes. The format is

ooo.lo.<ns>.<snake_case_name>.<PascalCaseName>

from ooo.lo.uno.x_interface import XInterface

def foo(input:str) -> XInterface: ...

ooo.dyn

Namespace ooo.dyn contains static and dynamic classes depending on class type. The format is ooo.dyn.<ns>.<snake_case_name>.<PascalCaseName>

This namespace has dynamic classes that are changed at runtime. For classes that are dynamic are fully or partially replaced by UNO version at runtime.

This allows for typings while in design time (working in IDE) and at runtime UNO classes are created instead.

>>> from ooo.dyn.style.line_spacing import LineSpacing as DynLineSpacing
>>> from ooo.lo.style.line_spacing import LineSpacing as LoLineSpacing
>>> dyn_lns = DynLineSpacing(Height=10, Mode=3)
>>> lo_lns = LoLineSpacing(Height=10, Mode=3)
>>> assert dyn_lns.Height == 10
>>> assert dyn_lns.Mode == 3
>>> type(dyn_lns).__name__
'com.sun.star.style.LineSpacing'
>>> type(lo_lns).__name__
'LineSpacing'

ooo.csslo

Namespace ooo.csslo contains static classes as LO API style imports.

The format is ooo.csslo.<ns>.<PascalCaseName>

When importing from ooo.csslo all classes in that namespace are also loaded. Under some circumstances this may not be desired. Such as packaging with stickytape.

>>> from ooo.lo.style.line_spacing import LineSpacing as LoLineSpacing
>>> from ooo.csslo.style import LineSpacing as CssLineSpacing
>>> LoLineSpacing is CssLineSpacing
True
>>> ls = CssLineSpacing()
>>> type(ls).__name__
'LineSpacing'

ooo.cssdyn

Namespace ooo.cssdyn contains static and dynamic classes depending on class type as LO API style imports.

When importing from ooo.cssdyn all classes in that namespace are also loaded. Under some circumstances this may not be desired. Such as packaging with stickytape.

>>> from ooo.dyn.style.line_spacing import LineSpacing as DynLineSpacing
>>> from ooo.cssdyn.style import LineSpacing as CssLineSpacing
>>> DynLineSpacing is CssLineSpacing
True
>>> ls = CssLineSpacing()
>>> type(ls).__name__
'com.sun.star.style.LineSpacing'

Generally speaking

When using ooo as typings then import from ooo.lo or ooo.csslo.

When using ooo interactivly such as creating structs, enums, singletons, const classes then import from ooo.dyn or ooo.cssdyn.
