modifying open office spreadsheet (with OO installed)

[News123]

Hi,


I wanted to know who can recommend a good module/library, that allows to
modify an Open Office spreadsheet.

One can assume, that Open Office is installed on the host.




Is PyUNO_bridge ( http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/PyUNO_bridge
) the way to go or is there something better / faster / newer.

Are there any good wrapper / abstraction libraries.



Ideally I'd like to have a solution, that works with python 2.6 and on
windows and linux.


My initial tasks would be rather simple:
searching for rows with a certain name in a column and insert a value in
a neighbour column.

Lateron I would be interested in
- inserting / deleting rows /columns
- copying cells.
- inserting formulas
- running existing macros
- printing interactively
but this can wait a little.


thanks for any hints or sharing your experience
