Juno for py3o
=============

py3o.renderers.juno is a Java driver for py3o to transform
an OpenOffice document into a PDF

Prerequisites
=============

Since this is a Java implementation you will need to install
jpype and to have a recent Java runtime on the rendering machine.
You will also need a running OpenOffice instance. (If you are on
windows this can be addressed by using the py3o.renderserver
Open Office service.)

This has been tested with Java 1.6 and OpenOffice 3.2.1 it has
also been tested with LibreOffice 3.3

Usage
=====

::

    from py3o.renderers.juno import start_jvm, Convertor, formats
    import datetime

    # first arg is the jvm.so or .dll
    # second arg is the basedir where we can find the basis3.3/program/classes/unoil.jar
    # third argument it the ure basedir where we can find ure/share/java/*.jar containing
    # java_uno.jar, juh.jar, jurt.jar, unoloader.jar
    # fourth argument is the max memory you want to give to the JVM
    start_jvm(
            "/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre/lib/amd64/server/libjvm.so",
            "/usr/lib64/libreoffice",
            "/usr/lib",
            "3.3",
            140)
    c = Convertor("127.0.0.1", "8997")

    t1 = datetime.datetime.now()
    c.convert("py3o_example.odt", "py3o_example.pdf", formats['PDF'])
    t2 = datetime.datetime.now()
