Previously, all of the README files have been renamed to README.md and now, the contents of these files were changed to use Markdown format. Other than format inconsistency, some README.md files lacked information about modules, or were out of date. By using LibreOffice / OpenOffice wiki and other documentation websites, these files were updated. Now every README.md file has a title, and some description. The top-level README.md file is changed to add links to the modules. The result of processing the Markdown format README.md files can be seen at: https://docs.libreoffice.org/ Change-Id: Ic3b0c3c064a2498d6a435253b041df010cd7797a Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/113424 Tested-by: Jenkins Reviewed-by: Michael Stahl <michael.stahl@allotropia.de> Reviewed-by: Adolfo Jayme Barrientos <fitojb@ubuntu.com>

# Python UNO Bindings
|
|
|
|
UNO bindings for the Python programming language.
|
|
|
|
To have much joy debugging Python extensions you need to:
|
|
|
|
+ a) edit `pythonloader.py` in your install setting `DEBUG=1` at the top
|
|
+ b) `touch pyuno/source/module/pyuno_runtime.cxx` and `make debug=true` in `pyuno`
|
|
|
|
Then you'll start to see your exceptions on the console instead of them getting
|
|
lost at the UNO interface.
|
|
|
|
Python also comes with a gdb script
|
|
`libpython$(PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR).$(PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR)m.so.1.0-gdb.py`
|
|
that is copied to `instdir` and will be auto-loaded by `gdb`;
|
|
it provides commands like `py-bt` to get a Python-level backtrace,
|
|
and `py-print` to print Python variables.
|
|
|
|
Another way to debug Python code is to use `pdb`: edit some initialization
|
|
function to insert `import pdb; pdb.set_trace()` (somewhere so that it is
|
|
executed early), then run `soffice` from a terminal and a command-line Python
|
|
debugger will appear where you can set Python-level breakpoints.
