New since release 0.31:
* integration of an entire new, more XML based approach using Report
Markup Language (RML) and XSLT: enhanced flexibility, better PDF's etc.
* Ability to work with RML templates (similar to XSL-FO, but easier to
use and more powerful) - use OOo as template generator.
* Several bugfixes.
* Read more about this in the new PyOpenOffice User Guide

PyOpenOffice 0.4 - The Document Tool
The Usability of OpenOffice.org meeting the Power of XML Reporting
Technologies - without installing OOo on your server
What is PyOpenOffice?
* It is an XML based reporting tool, using OpenOffice.org as an
easy to use template generator
* It is a class library, written in the Python Language.
* It is a platform-independent command-line utility (most abilities
of the commandline interface are still missing)
What can PyOpenOffice do for you? Here some examples:
* Make serial letters, lists and reports from templates in the
SXW-Format and store them anew as SXW-Files
* Replace pictures - generate catalogues, worksheets, photo
galleries etc. from an SXW-Template.
* Extract the pure text information from the SXW-Document and store
it in a plain text file or a PDF-File
* Transform SXW-Files to PDF-Files without installing OO - for
example on a webserver
* Use OOo as template generator and transform SXW files to RML
(Report Markup Language) files
* Make serial letters, lists and reports from templates in the RML
format and transform them to PDF / HTML
* Replace pictures - generate catalogues, worksheets, photo
galleries etc. from an RML template and transform them to PDF / HTML
