programming OpenOffice with External Python Project

[bobthebuilder44]

I am unable to program Openoffice documents from a python project.

Here is my Python code:

filename = 'somefile.ods'

import Danny.OOo.OOoLib as OOoLib
import unohelper
import os.path

url = unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl(
    os.path.abspath(filename))
desktop = OOoLib.getDesktop()
doc = desktop.loadComponentFromURL(
    url, "_blank", 0, () )

The error I get is:

Error:
File "c:\users\public\documents\python\openofficetest.py", line 3, in <module>
import Danny.OOo.OOoLib as OOoLib
File "c:\users\public\documents\python\Danny\OOo\OOoLib.py", line 38, in <module>
import uno
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uno'

First I am not sure which folder to put the “Danny.OOo.OOoLib as OOoLib”
Second what does the “No module named 'uno” error mean?

Can anyone answer this and show what is needed to eliminate the errors and have Python talk to OpenOffice.

Please, use proper tags when post code, traceback, output, etc. This time I have added tags for you.
See BBcode help for more info.

Not sure what you mean by that question. you have folder c:\users\public\documents\python\Danny\OOo\ and you import module OOoLib (that is the file OOoLib.py) Isn't that what you want? Is this module that you wrote?

Second what does the “No module named 'uno” error mean?

In the above mentioned module you try to import module uno and the interpreter cannot find it. Is this something you wrote or installed? Also, I see that in this script you import unohelper - is this something different?

Looking further into this, I guess you try to use the first of these

Then some googling and as far as I understand it is trying to use PyUNO, which is integrated in OO. I suggest that you check this tutorial, incl. on how to start it.
