Python in LibreOffice (LibrePythonista Extension)
Hacker NewsSunday, May 25, 2025 at 2:12:21 AM
LibreOffice is getting a new extension called LibrePythonista that lets users write and run Python scripts directly within the office suite. This could be a game-changer for automating tasks, customizing workflows, or even building add-ons without needing external tools. The discussion around it is mostly positive, with users excited about the potential but also curious about how well it will integrate and perform.
Editor’s Note: LibreOffice has always been a solid open-source alternative to Microsoft Office, but this move could make it even more powerful for tech-savvy users. Python’s popularity means more people might be able to tweak their office apps to fit their needs—whether it’s automating reports, processing data, or just adding custom features. If it works smoothly, this could help LibreOffice attract more users who want flexibility without leaving their spreadsheet or document behind.
