Libreoffice 'exceptions.ImportError object has no attribute 'with_traceback'"

[cpina]

This happens here in an Ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. It may happen to other versions but I haven't tried yet.

When using Libreoffice 1:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~precise1 (Help - About LibreOffice shows Version: 4.1.1.2, Build ID: 410m0(Build:2) installed using the PPA libreoffice-4.1: when adding the attached extension it shows an error message such as:
-------------

Using Libreoffice 4.1 from libreoffice.org: works correctly.

Editing the extension with this change:
-except ImportError: import json
+except: import json

(it appears twice)

Then it works correctly - not sure why.

Let me know if you need some more information.

Thank you,

Hello,

I reported it here because I asked the Libreoffice PPA maintainers and they referred to me to do it here. They also pointed me out to:

https://lists.launchpad.net/libreoffice/msg00072.html

I used the tag as mentioned.

If I should use another place let me know. I tried to use: https://bugs.launchpad.net/~libreoffice but I can't open a ticket there (no link or button to open tickets). Hence I asked them and they said to me to do it here.

I changed the status again to New - feel free to change back to whatever makes sense for your process.

Regards,

Carles

It seems to me to be a upstream bug too, but you likely use python3 there. Install python3-uno instead of python-uno.

[cpina (carles-pina)]

Hi Björn,
I tried it yesterday. All my python3-uno available packages (checked with apt-cache show python3-uno) depends on libreoffice 3.

sudo apt-get install python3-uno returns:
"python3-uno : Depends : libreoffice-core (= 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4) but 1:4.1.1-0ubuntu1~precise1 is to be installed".

I agree that seems that it's some python3/python2 problem. I haven't been able to reproduce using upstream though.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Oh, indeed: The precise backport seems to have only python-uno, not python3-uno. Subscribing ricotz, who is doing the backport -- maybe he has a simple solution.

Zachary Steele, please do not add bug tasks to this report.

[Rico Tzschichholz (ricotz)]

@cpina: Libreoffice 4.1+ requires python 3.3 which isn't available on Precise/12.04. Therefore it isn't possible to provide the python3 bindings. So it is needed that plugins are python2 compatible to work.
@bjoern: Feel free to correct me.

[Björn Michaelsen (bjoern-michaelsen)]

Gnah, indeed. LibreOffice 4.1 can talk via UNO to Python 3, but only 3.3 or above, or Python2. However, internally LibreOffice 4.1 uses Python 3.3 anyway (so I assume some things are broken on the precise backport, e.g. File->Wizards -- the only way around that would be to ship LibreOffice 4.1 with Python 3.3, possibly as an internal copy). So this is essentially a loose-loose situation (unless you update to Ubuntu Raring or Saucy), sorry.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

How to fix this problem?

[Giaosudau (giaosudau)]

I found the way to fix this problem
Just replace this file below to /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uno.py
then It work Ok again.
