Also note that the python executable in the LibreOffice program directory is
actually a wrapper (a shell script on Linux and macOS, see
pyuno/CustomTarget_python_shell.mk; an .exe on Windows, see
pyuno/Executable_python.mk) that is careful to set up an environment in which
LibreOffice's PyUNO also works for stand-alone Python programs.  Linux
distributions that do not include that wrapper but use the distro's python
executable directly typically make sure to set up that environment, too, in a
different way.
