Running Python Interactive Console
The Python interactive console, also known as Python interpreter or Python shell, provides programmers with a quick way to execute commands and try out and test code without creating a file. UNO objects introspection as well as Collabora Office Python modules documentation can be obtained from the terminal.
Using a Basic macro:
Sub interpreter_console
ps = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.util.PathSettings")
install_path = ConvertFromURL(ps.Module)
Shell( install_path + GetPathSeparator() + "python" )
End Sub
Using a Python macro:
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
from __future__ import unicode_literals
import uno, os, subprocess
def interpreter_console():
ctx = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getComponentContext()
smgr = ctx.getServiceManager()
ps = smgr.createInstanceWithContext("com.sun.star.util.PathSettings", ctx)
install_path = uno.fileUrlToSystemPath(ps.Module)
pgm = install_path + os.sep + "python" # Python shell/console path
subprocess.Popen(pgm) # Start Python interactive Shell
Usage:
