If want to create documents, there is no nead to fight with OOo and UNO. 
As I thought everybody already knows, ODF is simply a Zip-File 
containing some XML files. So there is no need to use OOo for handling 
the files.

So odfpy seams to be the best way to to this. You may also want to check 
OOopy <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/OOoPy/>.

If you are going to interact with OOo, you may want to try out
