I had install python3 and libreoffice, when i run libreoffice, No error when run unoserver, but, There is a error as following when I run unoconvert. Can you give some help. @regebro

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/unoserver/converter.py", line 2, in import uno ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'uno'

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/unoconvert", line 5, in from unoserver.converter import main File "/usr/lib/python3.7/site-packages/unoserver/converter.py", line 5, in "Could not find the 'uno' library. This package must be installed with a Python " ImportError: Could not find the 'uno' library. This package must be installed with a Python installation that has a 'uno' library. This typically means you should installit with the same Python executable as your Libreoffice installation uses.

We added the following environment variables to our running docker container and had success after facing the same issue:

export URE_BOOTSTRAP=vnd.sun.star.pathname:/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/fundamentalrc
export PATH=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program:$PATH
export UNO_PATH=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program:/usr/lib/libreoffice/ure/lib
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program:$PYTHONPATH

for additional context, we are running it in Alpine too, so we added the ENV's to our docker file.

Solution is to run unoconvert using the python used by libreoffice.

# Install libreoffice python finder
wget -O find_uno.py https://gist.githubusercontent.com/regebro/036da022dc7d5241a0ee97efdf1458eb/raw/find_uno.py
python3 find_uno.py

# Run the python script
python find_uno.py
or
python3 find_uno.py

# On mac it is located at /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python
# Use libreoffice python to run unoserver and unoconvert
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python -m unoserver.server --executable /usr/local/bin/soffice

# Then we can safely run unoconvert the same way
# unoconvert requires the outfile to be explicit
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python -m unoserver.converter --convert-to pdf "Input.docx" "Out.pdf"
