How to run python macros in LibreOffice?

Question

When I go to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> Python I get this dialog:

Answer 1

Try to manually make a subdirectory python (all lowercase) inside /home/martin/.config/libreoffice/4/user/Scripts and put your script there.

This is based on this wiki.openoffice.org documentations.

Answer 2

I also struggled to get a clear start, so I documented my setup and the things I learned here. If you work through that, you will see that you can place your python script in any folder as long as you link to it correctly.

EDIT: The old URL-only answer now points to a dead link. That page can still be found on the Internet Archive Wayback Machine or this GitHub Gist.

Answer 3

Python scripts are located on /usr/lib/libreoffice/share/scripts/python

Maybe this tutorial will help, as it did for me.

Answer 4

Follow these instructions:

1. Install the new APSO extension
2. then go to Tools -> Macros -> Organize python scripts.
3. Now, select "My Macros" and choose Menu -> Create Module.

This documentation helped me the most.
