"""
The access2base.py module implements an interface between Python (user) scripts and the Access2Base Basic library.
 
Usage:
    from access2base import *
Additionally, if Python and LibreOffice are started in separate processes:
    If LibreOffice started from console ... (example for Linux)
        ./soffice --accept='socket,host=localhost,port=2019;urp;'
    then insert next statement
        A2BConnect(hostname = 'localhost', port = 2019)
