LibreOffice 24.8 Help
Computing LibreOffice user profile and shared modules system file paths can be performed with Python or with Basic languages. BeanShell, Java, JavaScript and Python scripts locations can be derived from this information.
With Python shell.

Unlike Basic, pathname normalization is performed with Python inside Session class.
