That is what I would expect. However, I tried it, and when I open an Excell sheet (.xls) or a PNG, 
it gives an error message, but when I use a .ods file, it just hangs (presumably in the load). And 
it won't be killed by ctrl-C. This probably should be considered a bug.

When I then kill the LO process, the Python program gives this error message:
SystemError: Couldn't instantiate python representation of structered UNO type 
com.sun.star.lang.DisposedException
