I had a oodiff before, but some day it stopped working. Now I renamed it to ooodiff.
Thanks to some notes from here I corrected it. This version should work well with subversion. Here's the code (PEP8/Pyflakes compatible):
#!/usr/bin/python
# Requires python-uno
# Code originally gotten from:
# http://people.warp.es/~xtor/blog/?p=166
# See also: (google for "openoffice uno compare documents")
