You could also use Resolver One[1], which sadly is no longer in development[2]. It is a commercial spreadsheet written in IronPython that uses (almost?) vanilla python files as documents. Needless to say it is extremely scriptable. I'd love to take a stab at making a lite version in QT or wxPython running in CPython... Sadly, I've gotten too used to Google Spreadsheets to really need a desktop version Also, of course, LibreOffice has support for Python macros.

Not sure why estebank's comment was downvoted; Resolver One was truly awesome. DataNitro's stuff is also interesting, but it's a different approach, and Resolver One's model and work shouldn't be forgotten.

  > Not sure why estebank's comment was downvoted I gave an upvote. I suspect others downvoted the comment because it spoke well of Resolver One, which is competing in the same space as DataNitro (a YC company).

Are there docs on python macros for LibreOffice? I'm having trouble tracking them down if there are...

    Thanks, but as far as I can tell that just shows you how to launch scripts/macros in various ways (menu item, etc). However, it doesn't document what you can do with the macros...coding conventions...interacting with data...etc.

      http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Python_as_a_macro_language#Script_coding http://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Python_as_a_macro_language#S... has a sample hello world script that can be run as a macro But I agree in general that the documentation is paltry. Good opportunity for an interested person to do some more digging, write a few blog posts and possibly contribute to the documentation :)
