I suppose it doesn't matter, as you have a solution but I thought I'd throw in what I have used successfully on Linux, to fire up LibreOffice Calc in a separate process. On UNIX, non-inheritable file descriptors are closed in child processes at the execution of a new program, other file descriptors are inherited. Open LibreOffice Calc Press Ctrl +Shift+N or choose File - New - Templates to open the Template Manager Click on the Extensions icon to browse for online templates. Since Python 3.4, file descriptors created by Python are non-inheritable by default. Otherwise when close_fds is false, file descriptors obey their inheritable flag as described in Inheritance of File Descriptors.Ī file descriptor has an “inheritable” flag which indicates if the file descriptor can be inherited by child processes. Apache OpenOffice Calc The solution to storing all your numbers and lists Calc is the spreadsheet application you’ve always wanted.

If close_fds is true, all file descriptors except 0, 1 and 2 will be closed before the child process is executed. My gut feeling, is that the close_fds=True parameter was what made the difference. 3) Close and restart LibreOffice to have Quickstarter appear. I vaguely remember having an issue with this but no longer remember exactly why I chose this solution. 2) Go to Tools > Options > LibreOffice > Memory on the Menu bar and select Load LibreOffice during system start-up (if using Windows) or select Enable systray Quickstarter (if using Linux).
