Python and Open Office

[Marco Bizzarri]

Greg, as an addition to what I already said to you, you can consider
taking a look at oood from ERP5 project

http://wiki.erp5.org/HowToUseOood

OOOd (openoffice.org daemon) runs openoffice behind the scene, and
allows you to interact with it via XML-RPC; it should be quite robust,
since it is actively mantained and used in a big software project.
And, also, it should be quite easy to extend in order to have your
custom functions run via XML-RPC.

Regards
Marco
