--- Comment #5 from gaxonegaxone at hotmail.com ---
Adding libffi-7.dll did resolve my issue.

I'm not sure if it's appropriate to mention here, or if you'd prefer separate
bug report(s): I find that each time I upgrade LibreOffice (LO), iff LO has
embedded a new Python version, then extra python packages I installed (residing
in directory "site-packages") over the previous months/years are wiped out, and
I must rebuild the environment required by my LO python macros.  For that
reason, I now religiously check the Release Notes before upgrading LO to see if
a new version of Python is included.
1. LO 7.1.0.3 Rel Notes did not (at least, not when I read them) mention the
new python version.  Could the Rel Notes be updated to help others?
2. Not sure if this is reasonable / advisable, but is it possible for the
installation process to automatically preserve the LO user's python package
environment in cases where LO is delivering a new python version?
3. If answer to #2 is no, is there any way to at least include pip (or somehow
boostrap pip automatically) in the embedded python?  That would simplify
re-establishing the package environment needed by LO user's python macros.

Thanks for resolving the DLL issue.  Let me know if one or more of items 1-3
belong in a separate bug report.
