obasync - Office Basic Macro Source Synchronizer
DESCRIPTION
obasync is an OpenOffice/LibreOffice Basic macro source synchronizer. It synchronizes your Basic macros with your local project files.
Given the following source files:
- Directory: MyApp
- Files: MyMacros.vb Utils.vb Registry.vb Data.vb
Running obasync will synchronize them with the following Basic macros:
- Library: MyApp
- Modules: MyMacros Utils Registry Data
If the Basic library MyApp does not exist, it will be created. Missing modules will be added, and excess modules will be removed.
On the other hand, given the following Basic macros:
- Library: MyApp
- Modules: MyMacros Utils Registry Data
Running obasync --get will synchronize them with the following source files:
- Directory: MyApp
- Files: MyMacros.vb Utils.vb Registry.vb Data.vb
Missing source files will be added, and excess source files will be deleted.
INSTALL
You can either:
- Install obasync with pip (recommended), or
- Download the obasync script manually, and run it with the Python that come with your OpenOffice/LibreOffice installation.
We will explain them in detail.
OpenOffice/LibreOffice That Comes with Your Linux
Install with pip (Recommended)
Your system may already have pip installed. If not, install the python-pip package from the system package manager. Then, run:
pip install obasync
OpenOffice 4 on Linux
Install with pip (Recommended)
Install pip for your OpenOffice installation, and then install obasync with this pip:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py sudo /opt/openoffice4/program/python get-pip.py /opt/openoffice4/program/python-core-2.7.6/bin/pip install obasync
Download and Install Manually
Download obasync from either PyPI or GitHub. Then, run obasync as:
/opt/openoffice4/program/python obasync
Or, you can edit the script and change the first line (shebang) to:
#! /opt/openoffice4/program/python
and save this script somewhere in your path, say, /usr/local/bin. Then you can run obasync.
LibreOffice on Linux
Python from LibreOffice on Linux does not install pip properly. However, you can still download and install obasync manually.
Install with pip (Recommended)
Download obasync from either PyPI or GitHub. Then, run obasync as:
/opt/libreoffice5.2/program/python obasync
Or, you can edit the script and change the first line (shebang) to:
#! /opt/libreoffice5.2/program/python
and save this script somewhere in your path, say, /usr/local/bin. Then you can run obasync.
OpenOffice on MS-Windows
You can install obasync with pip, but the result is messy. The recommended way is to download and install obasync manually.

Install pip first, and then install obasync with pip:
wget https://bootstrap.pypa.io/get-pip.py sudo python get-pip.py sudo pip install obasync
LibreOffice on Mac OS X
Python from LibreOffice on Mac OS X does not install pip properly. However, you can still download and install obasync manually.
Download and Install Manually
Download obasync from either PyPI or GitHub. Then, run obasync as:
/Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python obasync
Or, you can edit the script and change the first line (shebang) to:
#! /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python
and save this script somewhere in your path, say, /usr/local/bin. Then you can run obasync.

obasync [options] [DIRECTORY [LIBRARY]]
- DIRECTORY The project source directory. Default to the current
- working directory.
- LIBRARY The name of the Basic library. Default to the same
- name as the project source directory.
| --get | Download (check out) the macros from the OpenOffice/LibreOffice Basic storage to the source files, instead of upload (check in). By default it uploads the source files onto the OpenOffice/LibreOffice Basic storage. |

| -e, --encoding CS | |
| The encoding of the source files. The default is system-dependent. For example, on Traditional Chinese MS-Windows, this will be CP950 (Big5). You can change this to UTF-8 for convenience if you obtain/synchronize your source code from other sources. | |
