OpenOffice distributions for MacOS X (3.4.0 or 3.4.1) do not have all needed pieces for unoconv to work. Specifically, 'pyuno.so', 'python' , and the OOoPython frameworks are missing. I suggest removing OpenOffice.app (line 82) from unoconv

'/Applications/OpenOffice.org.app/Contents'

from the list of extrapaths until OpenOffice ships with the necessary components.

LibreOffice versions 3.5 and greater are fine.

unoconv is not a new project, and people have bee using unoconv with OpenOffice on MacOSX. So I prefer to keep the support, even though it may no longer work today. It might work with their next release, or it might not ?

I don't see how it could work unless they have installed pyuno separately. The OpenOffice distribution does not contain some necessary files.

That said, you can leave the support in, but explain in the README/INSTALL file that unoconv works "out of the box" with LibreOffice and can work with OpenOffice if the right python libraries are installed separately.
