For the KOffice libraries there aren't really bindings as there are for kdelibs,
so you cannot do an import "kotext" or import "kostore" in your python script.
But the kross bindings should be good enough and usable, with the proviso that
I don't think there are explicit commands to modify an ODF dom from within a
KOffice application, rather there are commands exposed that change the document
in terms of the application-internal object model. What is really needed is someone
who takes the current set of objects and methods exposed to Kross and who,
while writing scripts, makes notes of what's missing and adds those missing bits
to the scripting plugins.
