python macros don't work

[fx5]

Binary package hint: openoffice.org

Using hardy i am unable to use openoffice-macros written in python. The python support seems to be broken.

Can second that. Copying "dynamicDialog.py" into the python script directory as per
the following Document does not appear to have any noticable effect:

I also have this problem.

Does anyone know how to fix this?
I really want to use python to create macros!

"Work around":

 1. Remove all openoffice packages.
 2. Download and install openoffice from the official openoffice website [1].

Hi @all,

good News: This issue seems to be fixed in the newest openoffice updates, which could be found in the proposed software channel. You can add it in adept by clicking on adept -> manage repositories -> in the "updates" tab -> activate "proposed updates"

It would be nice if somebody could confirm, that this bug is fixed with the new packages.

Yesterday, I had the same problem on my 64 bit Hardy workstation.
But I couldn't install OpenOffice from the official website, so I formatted my workstation and installed the 32 version.
My work couldn't wait . . . :-/

Can someone also confirm if this bug is solved for 64 bit Hardy?

I don't have the time right now to remove the version I installed and install it form the Ubuntu packages.

Yes! "Hello World (in Python)" is there and runs.
I did exactly as Emanuel suggested (selected "hardy-proposed" in the "updates"-tab).
Deselected all packages except those beginning with openoffice.org.
Additional packages I had to download because of dependencies were: python-uno, ttf-deja-vu and ttf-deja-vu-extra.
I reset the "updates"-tab after download.
Anyway, thank you!
