Running on Ubuntu 8.04: I used synaptic to install lxml with no problems
(presumably you can do the same thing from debian using apt and get the
.deb from some ubuntu repository). I also needed to install
OleFileIO_PL:

$ odt2org.py -i fax_1.odt -o fax1.org
ERROR: install "OleFileIO_PL": 
http://www.decalage.info/files/OleFileIO_PL-0.18.zip


That was a straight python library install: unzip and run ``sudo python
setup.py install''.  After that, I tried it on a fax cover sheet that I
just happened to have (I don't do odt so I don't have much lying around)
and after I got the following error, I tried it on a simple document
that I created: a title and a couple of bullets - I got the same error:

 
$ odt2org.py -i fax_1.odt -o fax_1.org
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/nick/bin/odt2org.py", line 446, in <module>
    _oo.exportToORG()
  File "/home/nick/bin/odt2org.py", line 376, in exportToORG
    _output = self.__processText__()
  File "/home/nick/bin/odt2org.py", line 174, in __processText__
    _tmp = self.__processParagraph__(_child)
  File "/home/nick/bin/odt2org.py", line 200, in __processParagraph__
    for _i in _para.itertext():
AttributeError: 'etree._Element' object has no attribute 'itertext'

If you want to send me an odt document, I can try it out, but otherwise
I give up :-)

HTH,
