Today I will briefly introduce how to do this. I do this in Windows XP, and Windows users could benefit.
In the folder : C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 3\program there was a file called python.exe.
Go there and type the following script to start OpenOffice:
import os
import subprocess
import sys
import time
import uno
NoConnectionException = uno.getClass("com.sun.star.connection.NoConnectException")
ooffice = 'soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;"'
def start_OOo():
'''Starts OpenOffice.org with a listening socket.'''
# Start OpenOffice.org and report any errors that
# occur.
try:
retcode = subprocess.call(ooffice, shell=True)
if retcode < 0:
print >>sys.stderr, \
"OOo was terminated by signal", \
-retcode
elif retcode > 0:
print >>sys.stderr, \
"OOo returned", \
retcode
except OSError, e:
print >>sys.stderr, "Execution failed:", e
# Terminate this process when OOo has closed.
raise SystemExit()
started_OOo = False
if not started_OOo:
print "Starting OOo"
started_OOo = True
start_OOo()
time.sleep(3)
print "OOo started"
We can use now python scripts to create any type of file used by OpenOffice.
Let show one image create with few lines :
