+UNO bindings for the Python programming language.
+
+To have much joy debugging python extensions you need to:
+  a) edit pythonloader.py in your install setting DEBUG=1 at the top
+  b) touch pyuno/source/module/pyuno_runtime.cxx and 'make debug=true' in pyuno
+
+Then you'll start to see your exceptions on the console instead of them getting
+lost at the UNO interface.
+
+Python also comes with a gdb script
+libpython$(PYTHON_VERSION_MAJOR).$(PYTHON_VERSION_MINOR)m.so.1.0-gdb.py
+that is copied to instdir and will be auto-loaded by gdb;
+it provides commands like "py-bt" to get a python-level backtrace,
+and "py-print" to print python variables.
+
+Another way to debug Python code is to use pdb: edit some initialization
+function to insert "import pdb; pdb.set_trace()" (somewhere so that it is
+executed early), then run soffice from a terminal and a command-line python
+debugger will appear where you can set python-level breakpoints.
