Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: Save UNO state?

Okay, I wrote a python code that explores every property, and doesn't
fall into an infinite cycle. It is

def printUNO(parent, listChecked):
    try:
        for propName in dir(parent):
            if str(propName)[0].islower(): #function, skip
                continue
            try:
                property = getattr(parent, propName)
            except Exception: #inspect.UnknownPropertyException: wtf,
that doesn't work
                continue
            if str(property).startswith('pyuno'):
                if not any(propName == s for s in listChecked):
                    l = list(listChecked)
                    l.append(propName)
                    printUNO(property, l)
                continue
            print(propName + ': ' + str(property) + '\n')
    except Exception:
        return

The function accepts anything, and prints every property of the thing,
ignores functions (in PyUNO all functions starts with lower letter),
and recursively goes deeper and deeper keeping track of where it was
(in other to not visit the same property since these are sometimes
recursive).

However it produces too much output, e.g. from a test document it
produced 1gb of output. I think the problem is that most elements
still appears in output many times — the check that in backtrace
wasn't the current element is ensures only that it wouldn't fall in an
infinite cycle.
