How do you make Python (any Python) know about PyUno in LibreOffice?

When I do:

import uno

python says that it knows no module "uno". ^{(This question came up re. this question.)}

Please be more specific. How exactly did you install PyUno? And where? What's your sys.path? ... – Heliotrope 16/10, 2011 at 13:19

Here's what I did:

inside the LibreOffice directory, there is a "program" directory with a python.exe, if I use that python (which is at version 2.6.1), I can import uno.

This is not a solution to your question. It's just a workaround. – Chaw 28/12, 2011 at 22:49

It seems to me that using the built-in Python (as of LibreOffice4 and Python 3.3) is the only option here. I have a very hard time finding out how I can install pyuno for my working Python environment... – Cyanohydrin 5/3, 2013 at 11:51

@Clark, with some tweaking and working around the lack of other packages it worked for me too, it's just a bit of an annoyance to be constrained by that. Having said that, I did not try to re-install the packages for LO-Python. Would be nice if pyuno was provided as a PIP package... – Cyanohydrin 5/3, 2013 at 19:49

Perhaps the most used UNO application is document conversion... For this task, in nowadays, you not need UNO, you can use directly

libreoffice --convert-to

About UNO itself, see the new home page, http://api.libreoffice.org/

A good example of using python3-uno (or python-uno) is the Docvert conversor (Docvert for py2).

This answer saved me a huge amount of time debugging endless issues with unoconv. – Kibbutznik 31/10, 2019 at 14:39

For Debian, Ubuntu, and derivates:

sudo apt install libreoffice-script-provider-python

As said in the response to your comment there: it's an optional installable component for OpenOffice. See the Introduction to Python on OOo page in OpenOffice's Wiki for installation details

I am having the same issue with ubuntu 14.04 and python 2.7.6.

But if you are using ubuntu 12.04, try using sudo apt-get install python-uno.

N!ce one, sir. Need to add that this days it's the package libreoffice-script-provider-python – Sudduth 4/8, 2015 at 18:48

For ubuntu 16.04 the required package is called python3-uno – Boondocks 15/3, 2019 at 20:46

Try importing the libre office python extension.

yum install libreoffice-pyuno
