This module makes programming OOo in Python much more like programming OOo in Basic. It also contains some frequently used functions that I typically write in Basic, such as makePropertyValue(). When I write Components in Python, the first function in this module, the getServiceManager() function is replaced by a completely different implementation. Otherwise, even in a component, the features of this module are available.
