How to execute a python macro that launches another python script?
I want to create a python macro on libreoffice which will trigger another python script. Unfortunately it doesn't work and I don't know why.
When I launch the python from terminal it works fine but not from macro.
My macro.py file :
import os
def launch():
os.system("python /home/ivq/Documents/generation.py")
launch()
Expected result : launch generation.py
Actual result : nothing happen
python macros libreoffice
