Hi all --
Users often request information about exporting multi-sheet
spreadsheets to CSV on the command line, and (AFAIK) our best option
to this point was to send them to a 2009-era article with attached
code.

So I took the code from the 2009 article...
www.linuxjournal.com/content/convert-spreadsheets-csv-files-python-and-pyuno-part-1v2

...and updated it for modern LibreOffice, python3, wrote some docs,
etc., and shoved it into GItHub:
https://github.com/colonelqubit/libreconverter

It would be great to have a couple of other people test to make sure
my docs are relatively clear and the code actually runs on more than
one system :-)

Cheers,
--R

P.S. I tested with 4.2b2 on Ubuntu 12.04.3 -- I think anything after
4.0 has python3, and should probably be compatible.
