pyuno MRI extension, which installs on all versions of LO from 3.3.4 to

the problem is in MRI.py which is part of the extension.

"invalid syntax" often means using "print" as a statement, not a
function, or a whitespace inconsistency (tabs vs. spaces) which was
(fortunately) promoted to a syntax error in Python 3.

Is there anything that has changed between 3.6.x and 4.x that would
cause python extensions to fail to be loaded on OSX ?

yes :)  we ship Python 3 in LO 4, and Python 2 in LO 3.x.

the extension needs to be ported to Python 3.

you can point the author to http://python3porting.com/ which is very
useful... if you read carefully you can even figure out how to make
things run on both Python 2 and 3 (all Python code shipped with LO
should hopefully be able to do that).
