When I go to Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> Python I get this dialog:
It is not possible to create new Python macros.
Apparently LibreOffice has no Python editor so I have to write the macros elsewhere and then just execute them.
But I do not know where to put the Python scripts.
I tried a system-wide search for files with "HeloWorld" in their name and I got no results.
I tried to put a test.py file into:
/home/martin/.config/libreoffice/4/user/Scripts and reload the application, but the test macro is not shown.
I tried to find the appropriate setting in Tools -> Options -> Path but there is no "path to macros":
How can I run Python macros from LibreOffice?
This question is a part of my quest to learn Python and to learn LibreOffice macros, so any link to a general tutorial is welcomed. The tutorials on LibreOffice Python macros seem to be especially hard to find.
I am using LibreOffice Version: 4.1.3.2

Working with Python Scripts in LibreOfficeYou can execute Python scripts choosing Tools - Macros - Run Macro. Editing scripts can be done with your preferred text editor.
You can write an Excel macro in python to do whatever you would previously have used VBA for. Macros work in a very similar way to worksheet functions. To register a function as a macro you use the xl_macro decorator. Macros are useful as they can be called when GUI elements (buttons, checkboxes etc.)
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.
