How to use the extension with OpenOffice on macOS Sierra

[maxmasetti]

hi,
this extension works in OpenOffice on macOS Sierra too but you need to install pygments in the right python environment. Actually I've some python installed while OpenOffice uses the official macOS one, i.e. python 2.7, so in the console type pip and then to tab key twice to obtain all the pip available, for me is pip-2.7. Now you can install pygments with a command:

# sudo pip-2.7 install pygments

and all works fine.
In case of dubt, you have to modify a python script like HelloWorld.py located in the folder /Applications/OpenOffice.app/Contents/share/Scripts/python and add before return

import sys
tRange.String = str(sys.path)

Than execute HelloWorld from Writer to see where the OpenOffice python loads imports and particulary where is site_packages located. From that info you should find the right python and pip.
hope this helps.

I have the same problem in macOS Mojave and I don't have much experience on Python:

Message: <class 'ImportError'>: No module named 'pygments' (or 'pygments.styles' is unknown)

I checked Python 2.7.10 is already installed in /usr/bin/python

Things I've tried but no luck:
sudo pip install pygments
sudo easy_install pygments

Are there any simple installation instruction like using Homebrew?

ok, may be you have not pip or a second version (3). Open the console and type pip, than type tab twice: it shows you all the resolution for that string, for me:

max$ pip⟶⟶
pip             pip-2.7         pip-autoremove  pip2            pip2.7          pip3            pip3.7
max$ pip

Then use pip2.7:

max$ sudo pip2.7 install pygments

Actually pip could be linked up to pip3.7, for me it is:

max$ pip -V
pip 19.1.1 from /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pip (python 3.7)
max$ pip2.7 -V
pip 19.0.3 from /usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/pip (python 2.7)

But if the tab don't show up any pip command, you don't have it installed yet. So install it first and than install pygments.
To install pip you can use easy_install:

$ sudo easy_install pip
$ sudo pip install --upgrade pip

Yes I have pip2.7 installed, sudo pip2.7 install pygments shows:

Requirement already satisfied: pygments in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages (2.4.2)

So it seems to be already installed successfully, but in LibreOffice still showing the same error:

A Scripting Framework error occurred while running the Python script vnd.sun.star.script:codehighlighter.oxt|python|highlight.py$highlight_csharp_default?language=Python&location=user:uno_packages.

ok, here is the problem: this trhead is about OpenOffice. Actually OpenOffice uses macOs Python installation, while LibreOffice don't. It uses a custom install of Python just inside the .app package. I wrote the same instruction for LibreOffice in the referenced issue, let's have a look at #14 too. You should launch Python from inside LibreOffice.app

$ sudo /Applications/LibreOffice.app/Contents/Resources/python 

and then execute these lines of code

>>> import pip
>>> pip.main(['install', 'pygments'])
