No HelloWorldPython nor any other Python script using AppImage

You can only see the wizard option.

Yes that was the default in OpenOffice, as the other was an extension then. It seems to be a known topic, discussed here:

LibreOffice BASE: Report

An package in AUR may solve your problem:

Report Builder error with LO 6.0 (or 5.4)

Hello, I use LO since a long time with Base Report Builder. Report Builder was an addon, then was embedded with LO. But since 5.4 and now 6.0 I get an error when running a report : The document xxx could not be opened. The report xxx requires the Oracle Report Builder With 5.4.1 I tried the Oracle Report Builder but that did not work, so I went back to 5.3 and had no more problem. But now, I have problems with some libraries used by other applications that require new versions. So I tried ag…

The answer that AndyRTR gives is lame (in my opinion). Since it’s difficult to maintain the package, he decided to avoid the Report Builder (which I also need harder than trying to learn Python scripting).

That’s the reason I am trying to make the AppImage to work with Python in Manjaro, @Wanderer

Why not report it to Issues - loaih - LibreItalia Gitea: Git with a cup of tea ?

@LobaLuna: if your issue is already solved? … ignore the suggested workaround!

The following is testet

1. firstly i removed the »libreoffice-script-provider-python« package with:

   sudo apt-get purge libreoffice-script-provider-python
   ( 1. only for me to test you dont need that)

2. then I download only the 2 files pythonscript.py and scriptproviderforpython.rdb from this site
3. copy them both to the right location below ……libreoffice/program:

   > sudo cp  pythonscript.py    ……/libreoffice/program/pythonscript.py
   > sudo cp  scriptproviderforpython.rdb    ……/libreoffice/program/services/scriptproviderforpython.rdb

Hi, @karolus!

It’s not solved yet. I’m going to try your solution. Give me a couple of days. I’ve been very busy at work. Thank you very much in advance!

Hi, @karolus

No, within the new AppImage are those files included, but they do not show the HelloWorldPython. I tested in Manjaro, with AppImage 24.2.5, or a rpm-parallel installation…

Funny thing is in Arch, yes, I see the HelloWorldPython (BUT not the Report Builder for Base).

It appears only Debian-like distros fit the requirements for LibreOffice
