Python-uno package issue with python2.6 and python2.7 installed

I'm working with OpenERP and a module named report_openoffice. This module needs the package python-uno installed. The problem is that i have 2 versions of python(2.6 and 2.7). When I install the package, Python2.7 can use the package python-uno but python2.6 can't. I need to use it in python2.6. Is there a way to install this package for python 2.6?

PS: I'm on Ubuntu 11.04

Thank you very much

sudo apt-get install libreoffice python-genshi python-cairo python-lxml python-setuptools
sudo apt-get install libreoffice-script-provider-python

python-uno is often used to drive OpenOffice/LibreOffice. However, if you just want to create reports in odt or pdf files, you can use PyQt4

A simple example to show how to write to an odt file:

>>>from pyqt4 import QtGui
# Create a document object
>>>doc = QtGui.QTextDocument()
# Create a cursor pointing to the beginning of the document
>>>cursor = QtGui.QTextCursor(doc)
# Insert some text
>>>cursor.insertText('Hello world')
# Create a writer to save the document
>>>writer = QtGui.QTextDocumentWriter()
>>>writer.supportedDocumentFormats()
[PyQt4.QtCore.QByteArray(b'HTML'), PyQt4.QtCore.QByteArray(b'ODF'), PyQt4.QtCore.QByteArray(b'plaintext')]
>>>odf_format = writer.supportedDocumentFormats()[1]
>>>writer.setFormat(odf_format)
>>>writer.setFileName('hello_world.odt')
>>>writer.write(doc) # Return True if successful
True

QTextCursor also can insert tables, frames, blocks, images. More information. More information at: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtextcursor.html

I soft linked the uno.py and unohelper.py from 2.7 into 2.6 and that seems to work. As root do (or with sudo):

$> cd /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages
$> ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/uno.py
$> ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/unohelper.py
