Indeed, I previously had Ubuntu 13.04 and python-uno (for Python 2.7) was
available and worked great.  Not sure why it got deprecated, I can't seem
to find a ChangeLog entry anywhere to that effect.

I wonder if the Python version is a build time option for LibreOffice?  I
might be able to repackage libreoffice for Python 2.7 from the Ubuntu
packages.


If you want to carry on using pyuno built against python 2.7, I guess you

I was afraid that might be the case.
