Using Python to access LibreOffice Calc using Uno

问题


I'm trying to write a script to manipulate a Ubuntu Mint _LibreOffice Calc sheet using Python 3.7,. For some reason I'm getting an error when I try to import Uno. I can run a macro from inside Calc calling this

    desktop = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDesktop()
    model = desktop.getCurrentComponent()
    active_sheet = model.CurrentController.ActiveSheet
    write 'Hello World' in A1
    active_sheet.getCellRangeByName("A1").String = "Hello World!

"

but can't directly from the VS_code IDE, interact with the sheet. Is there a path that I need to set to Uno_

Using LibreOffice 6.4, Python 3.7 and APSO. I'm so frustrated with LibreOffice there seems to be very little python support for newbies.

After a lot of research, I have figured out how to manipulate a Ubuntu LibreOffice Calc sheet using Python 3.7 and PyCharm and MySQL. I'm a Newbie at all of this, so please excuse my coding, I'm still learning. I have supplied links to information sources I used to complete this project.

The main stumbling block that was causing me problems, was not understanding that LibreOffice needed to be initiated prior to connecting through the socket. After that I was able to use Uno and other modules to interact with the Calc spreadsheet. I have supplied copies of all my Py scripts. Hopefully this will help anyone who like me is new to this environment.

I had the same problem and I solved it like this:

  • install libreoffice in Ubuntu 20:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libreoffice --no-install-recommends
  • check if uno is accessible (in my case this is all I've done):
python3
Python 3.8.5 (default, Jul 28 2020, 12:59:40)
[GCC 9.3.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import uno
>>> print(uno.__file__)
/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/uno.py
>>> exit()
  • start libreoffice process with opened socket (more info here - page 117):
/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin --headless --invisible --nocrashreport --nodefault --nofirststartwizard --nologo --norestore --accept='socket,host=localhost,port=2002,tcpNoDelay=1;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext'
  • open another terminal and enter python3 interactive mode:
import uno
local_ctx = uno.getComponentContext()
smgr_local = local_ctx.ServiceManager
resolver = smgr_local.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.bridge.UnoUrlResolver", local_ctx)
url = "uno:socket,host=localhost,port=2002,tcpNoDalay=1;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext"
  • now try to connect:
uno_ctx = resolver.resolve(url)
  • if succeeded, uno context is all you need
  • instantiate Desktop (the root frame for all applications - Calc, Writer, Draw, ...)
uno_smgr = uno_ctx.ServiceManager
desktop = uno_smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.frame.Desktop", uno_ctx )
  • create a new Calc document (private:factory/scalc):
PropertyValue = uno.getClass('com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue')
inProps = PropertyValue( "Hidden" , 0 , True, 0 ), # this is a tuple
document = desktop.loadComponentFromURL("private:factory/scalc", "_blank", 0, inProps )
  • play with the document:
sheets = document.getSheets()
sheet_1 = sheets[0]
cell_1 = sheet_1.getCellByPosition(1,1)
value = cell_1.setString('Hello World!')
  • save it and check the results:
# UNO requires absolute paths
import os
path = os.path.abspath('./testfile.xls')
uno_url = uno.systemPathToFileUrl(path)
# Filters used when saving document.
# https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/tree/330df37c7e2af0564bcd2de1f171bed4befcc074/filter/source/config/fragments/filters
filter = uno.createUnoStruct('com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue')
filter.Name = 'FilterName'
filter.Value = 'Calc MS Excel 2007 XML'
filters = (filter,)
# use filters = () to save file as *.ods

document.storeToURL(uno_url, filters)
  • don't forget to terminate the process:
desktop.terminate()
  • you can find my implementation here: https://github.com/CosminEugenDinu/libreoffice-python-library
  • Good Luck !
