Re: [tdf-discuss] Official supported and still maintained Python package

The Document Foundation is one of the main sponsors of the ODF (Open 
Document Format), and LibreOffice is the main implementation of ODF. We 
do not officially represent ODF, which is owned and maintained by OASIS, 
although we are probably the main ODF advocates. The Python packages you 
mention have not been developed within the ODF main project, and as such 
are not supported by OASIS. While I agree about the noise created by 
those packages, issues should be directed to their respective owners 
(developers).
