How To Configure Pycharm To Develop Libreoffice Python Macros?

I've installed Python 3.5.1 as default in Win7(x64) for all my projects in Python. I use PyCharm 5.0.5 community edition for develop Python scripts and its default settings has 'De

Solution 1:

From the PyCharm documentation, it sounds like you could use a virtual environment to target LibreOffice (likely Python 3) and OpenOffice (likely Python 2) in two different projects. Otherwise it looks like a local interpreter is enough.

To test PyCharm, I did the following:

1. Download PyCharm and create a new project.
2. It asks which interpreter to use. Click on the gear icon and specify Add Local. Browse to C:\Program Files (x86)\LibreOffice 5\program\python.exe.
3. Create a new python file.

Then add this code:

import uno
from com.sun.star.awt import Point

p = Point(2,3)
print(p.X)
points = uno.Any("[]com.sun.star.awt.Point", (p,))
print(repr(points))

It underlined the com import statement, although it's not actually an error. PyCharm did recognize the other statements such as uno.Any.

To run, go to Run -> Run. It ran successfully and printed results as expected.

Instead of an IDE, I typically just use a text editor. From what I have seen, a lot of the IDE tools (syntax highlighting, auto completion, debugging) do not work very well with UNO anyway. It is better with Java, but that is a different topic.

By the way, are there any method to insert macros in the document, to share it with the document [...]?
