I didn't think of it until too late, sorry.

Thanks. Sorry.

It would appear to be because:

1. python can't find the shared library, need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/usr/lib/openoffice2/program. Ideally the library should go somewhere
where python can see it.

2. the default config in /usr/lib/openoffice2/program/pyunorc is wrong,
it needs to be changed to:

--- cut ---
[Bootstrap]
PYUNO_SHARED_PACKAGES=${$ORIGIN/bootstraprc:BaseInstallation}/share/uno_packages/cache
PYUNO_USER_PACKAGES=${$ORIGIN/bootstraprc:UserInstallation}/user/uno_packages/cache
UNO_TYPES=$ORIGIN/types.rdb ?$PYUNO_SHARED_PACKAGES/types.rdb
?$PYUNO_USER_PACKAGES/types.rdb
UNO_SERVICES=?$PYUNO_USER_PACKAGES/services.rdb
?$PYUNO_SHARED_PACKAGES/services.rdb $ORIGIN/services.rdb
--- cut ---

According to advice I found at:
<URL:http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs/ubuntu-devel-2005-05-10.html>

It appears to work now.
