Description:
LibreOffice comes with a python uno module, but loading it fails in libreoffice-fresh. It works in libreoffice-still.
The reason seems to be that the libreoffice-fresh PKGBUILD does not apply a patch that the libreoffice-still PKGBUILD does. The patch in question is make-pyuno-work-with-system-wide-module-install.diff

Additional info:
* package version(s): libreoffice-fresh 5.3.3-1


Steps to reproduce:
$ python3
>>> import uno
This task depends upon

pyuno module had some changes in 5.3 branch:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/pyuno/source/module/uno.py?h=libreoffice-5-3&id=deb989dd6d1f86e74864131be50ed92d8d43768c

Modifying sys.path.append and os.putenv pointing to our install location seems to be required though. Fedora does something similar in their spec file:

# move python bits into site-packages
install -m 0755 -d %{buildroot}%{libo_python_sitearch}
pushd %{buildroot}%{libo_python_sitearch}
echo "import sys, os" > uno.py
echo "sys.path.append('%{baseinstdir}/program')" >> uno.py
echo "os.putenv('URE_BOOTSTRAP', 'vnd.sun.star.pathname:%{baseinstdir}/program/fundamentalrc')" >> uno.py
cat %{buildroot}%{baseinstdir}/program/uno.py >> uno.py
rm -f %{buildroot}%{baseinstdir}/program/uno.py*
mv -f %{buildroot}%{baseinstdir}/program/unohelper.py* .
mv -f %{buildroot}%{baseinstdir}/program/officehelper.py* .
popd

Debian removed the make-pyuno-work-with-system-wide-module-install.diff patch with their 5.3.x. update as well. No idea where they do necessary modifications now.

Please test modifying uno.py directly in your installation to make it load again.

I made the changes shown in the attached patch, based on the fedora example, and it works.
   pyuno.patch (0.5 KiB)
