Regression: `import uno` causes `No module named 'pyuno'`

Description:

uno is the Libre Office API provided by the package. Currently, launching python and executing import uno causes the error. This is a regression, it certainly worked in the past, but since I don't use office suite actively, I'd say last time I know it's worked is like a few years back.

Workaround provided by the LO developers: exporting a PYTHONPATH=/usr/lib/libreoffice/program/:$PYTHONPATH variable.

Additional info:

  • package version(s): 24.8.0-3

Steps to reproduce:

  1. python3 -c 'import uno'

Expected

No output

Actual

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python3.12/site-packages/uno.py", line 19, in <module>
    import pyuno
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pyuno'
