Hi Kent Welcome to Apache OpenOffice.
One of the major tasks we need Python development for at the moment is to upgrade OpenOffice from Python 2 to 3. This is unfortunately quite difficult, as we not only have to port Python code, but possibly C code too, deal with patching, testing and packaging the module, and it has to work on different platforms. It should however look really good on your resume right now, as with Python 2 having recently become EOL, there should be many companies looking to port code to Python 3. This task is tracked in https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123975 and we already got Python 3 working somewhat with system-provided Python on *nix, but not with internally provided Python we typically use on eg. Windows. Otherwise I see 33 other bugs with "python" in their summary at https://bz.apache.org/ooo/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&resolution=---&short_desc=python&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr It's pretty difficult to get started with OpenOffice development, so shout if you need any help.
