OpenOffice (now LibreOffice, btw.) is not implemented in Java, if that's
what you mean.

It _is_ scriptable in Python, however there doesn't seem to be any
documentation available. Ask on the Libreoffice-users list.

You wouldn't implement "Office"-style software entirely in Python.

Other FOSS "Office"-style software apart from LibreOffice is, e.g.
Abiword and GNUmeric. Both are scriptable in Python as well, iirc.

And, of course, there's LyX (also scriptable in Python), which I do
prefer a L-O-T over "word processor" applications for writing. And there
is Pyspread.

Sincerely,

Wolfgang
