PyUNO allows connecting Python to OpenOffice.org's framework called UNO, which allows extensions to be created in Python. While Python is a great tool for beginner developers, it has low priority within OpenOffice.org where Java is preferred. Python versions in OpenOffice.org lag behind the latest releases. The framework remains difficult for Python and could be easier if a new framework was developed for rapid application development. Developers are encouraged to contact the leads to help make Python more prominent in OpenOffice.org.
