I am posting a REQUEST for a feature I found offen myself in good company in
various forums: a proper python integration within openoffice.

WHY?
- because developers (or hobbyists) that know python are many more than StarBasic;
- because with StarBasic you can use it only along OOO, while python everywhere;
- because python is **already** implemented as a scripting-engine in OOO.

WHAT?
- a python IDE inside OOO, like the StarBasic one, with syntax highlighting,
code-completion and easy access to API documentation;
- option for macro recording composing python code;
- automatic embedding of python scripts in the documents - without having to
manually open the zip archive - for easy distribution of complex documents.

thanks,
