------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fri Sep 12 08:30:36 +0000 2008 ------- In python scripts, call to functions and methods must have parentheses even if there is no argument. This should be known by python programmers, but when you switch among languages such syntax errors are common. Problem is that python produces a message without relation to the real error. Next attachment is a script example (7 lines) Log file (on MS-Windows XP) says: Fri Sep 12 10:10:43 2008 [ERROR] pythonscript.com.sun.star.ucb.ContentCreationException: Unable to create Content! C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.4\program\pythonscript.py:492 in function getChildNodes() [contents = self.provCtx.sfa.getFolderContents( self.rootUrl, True )] The error message is no more explicit, see second attachment. The line in error in the script is not even provided. I consider this a defect, not an enhancement, because you cannot really develop in python with such poor messages. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
