Hi Xisco, I think your Java->Python porting project is awesome. My experience is thin on many counts here: Java, Python, pyuno and LibreOffice, but I have been curious about them all, so I dove in a little on your question.
My short answer of encouragement: Yes, you can solve it! One question is how are you treating PropertyValue? If PropertyValue can still be either boolean or a list of strings (in your Python as in the Java) then your initial test "If PropertyValue:" may prevent setting *any* property to false. I think this safety check is moot anyway: Python will complain and quit before calling the setControlProperty function with nothing as the third argument object. I see that the invoke call is new - nice to see the setControlProperty function actually setting the property on the control ;-) I think the path that call takes is through the extern C static invoke at: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/ure/pyuno/source/module/pyuno_module.cxx#596 through PYUNO_invoke at: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/ure/pyuno/source/module/pyuno.cxx#335 where it seems that the Any wrapper is optional (!!). If you do pass PYUNO_invoke a tuple of Anys it just unpacks them before making a call like: object.name(tuple of args) I see that the Any wrapper is required to make calls through the Adapter::invoke here: http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/ure/pyuno/source/module/pyuno_adapter.cxx#194 --- but I'm sure you are not calling that invoke as it has a very different signature. The extern C static invoke function requires the third arg to be a tuple, so I think it is sufficient to test for tuple type and then make the singletons a tuple of 1 before the invoke call. Finally, from the way PYUNO_invoke turns the ControlName and PropertyName into the callable function object, I think that passing the PropertyName as the second argument is sufficient - it doesn't need to go in the tuple as well. My understanding is that Java needs the Any foo to pass both simple types and objects as generic objects whereas everything in Python is an object so ... your Python glue code may often be simpler than the original Java. Please remember I'm no expert -- I just spent a few hours on this to start to dig into pyuno while doing a full LibreOffice build ...
