Comment 12 for bug 1070476

The problem is even slightly more complicated, as it is actually libre
office 4 that made python-uno deprecated. So installing an older python2
version does not fix the problem, because that cannot communicate with
libre office itself any longer. Bibus uses wxpython to create the GUI,
which does not have a version for python3 yet. So I was trying to convert
bibus to python3 to solve this issue, but that failed, as I could not load
the GUI modules in python 3. In other words or we have to wait for wx for
python 3 (which is a major update called phoenix and is essentially a
complete rewrite, so most probably all the bibus code that handles the GUI
has to be debugged) or somebody should rewrite the GUI in something else,
ubuntu's qt for example (would be nice to have bibus on an Ubuntu tablet
😉). Any volunteers? So the loss of communication with libre office will
take some time. You could save the file as rtf and use bibus to format the
references afterwards in the meantime.

Kind regards,
Bart
