Bug#520944: [python-uno] Python support in OpenOffice is completely broken

["Adrià Cereto Massagué" <ssorgatem@gmail.com>]

Package: python-uno
Version: 1:3.1.0~ooo310m6-1
Severity: serious

the problem seems to be specifically in the module pyuno. Here's the traceback in an interactive python shell:

Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Feb 18 2009, 03:00:47)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import pyuno
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
SystemError: dynamic module not initialized properly
>>>

The output is the same when trying to run a script which imports any other uno brigde module, as they will try to import pyuno and they won't be able to do so.

I've tried a fix i've found for a very older version of openoffice in ubuntu, which was:
ldconfig -v /usr/lib/openoffice/program
But it hasn't take any effect.

Also, maybe it isn't directly related, maybe it is, but in OpenOffice the Macros manager won't find any python macros, despite they're actually installed (the default ones) as in previous versions.

I think it's a serious issue because it breaks all python-based macros and uno-dependant python scripts, as well as some openoffice extensions.
