A simple sample code snippet could look like: ( Danny.OOo.OOoLib from above url ) import os import uno import unohelper import Danny.OOo.OOoLib as OOoLib #must start open office with #soffice "-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=8100;urp;" fname = "tst.ods" new_fname = "tstnew.ods" url = unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl( os.path.abspath(fname)) desktop = OOoLib.getDesktop() doc = desktop.loadComponentFromURL( url, "_blank", 0, () ) sheet = doc.getSheets().getByIndex(0) cell = sheet.getCellByPosition(0,0) text_value = cell.getFormula() if text_value > 3: new_val = "was greater three" else: new_val = "was not greater three" celltochange = sheet.getCellByPosition(1,0) celltochange.setFormula(new_val) url = unohelper.systemPathToFileUrl( os.path.abspath(new_fname)) doc.storeToURL(url, ()) doc.close(True) -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
