Alain, Thanks for the welcome and links you sent.
If there are better locations to share the load of information in this
mail, I would like to receive directions. As newbie I did not discover them.
For a quick digestion read the more fundamental question thrown at the
bottom.
In the Q+A site there is a question about an autoincremented number
inserted in a document (receipt or order) as a barcode. I answered the
question in python code. The poster will be left with a working answer
that he can not implement. The post is viewed about once a day.
The moderate BASIC user, posting a question, it the user I have in mind.
My own background is that i am not educated as a programmer, but I can
teach myself new things, if information is available at the right
starting level.

I know the page. The page is loaded with information, and follows cocurrent and
alternative paths, I find it not an easy step by step guide for a newbie. How
to enter debug mode with APSO is not clear to me, the screenshot is suddenly
there.
Above pages confirm my impression that python users are in general educated programmers and know already the concepts and can work with it. The python rocket is ignited from the top of the himalaya. I would like to stay with the users in the valley and guide them a bit uphill and do the ignition there.

Is an interesting project, as I understand it, it will result in the 7.1
version to a list of macros in the 'LibreOffice macros' section. These macros
in basic and python.
That will certainly be useful. However, I fear it will be restricted to
LibreOffice functions only. It raises the strategic question:
?? Is the document foundation only responsible for documentation to run
LibreOffice, or should we also include additional functionality: be more
outreaching. Make that available in a tutorial: reading XML invoices, sending
invoices directly to a customer, the barcode example given in the top.
If there is a strict border then I leave a major part out of the idea I have in
mind.
