Hi Timo, First - I'm sorry that your 'easy hack' turned out not to be that easy :-) [ that sucks ], possibly it is worth doing a hyper-easy one instead first, you know - finding some pointless comments or whatever.

Sorry about that; are you sure that your code is getting executed ? do you have a patch we can read / discuss ? [ just whack a raw git diff in a mail to the list so we can poke ]. > Also there were errors like „XSCRIPTCONTEXT is not defined“.

Quite possibly there is some hideous new bug with the python run-time, it is not used enough to be well tested, and we have no unit tests / smoke-tests for it; I guess that needs fixing (on my TODO for some months). > I need an adequate environment to test the script.

Sure - the problem is, that it is not just python-tk it is all of 'tk' as well, and also compiling, bundling and shipping all of that on every platform - in addition to our existing visual toolkit ;-) So - I feel your pain - I know that the UNO toolkit code is nastier than you can believe, harder than pulling teeth, and tough to debug - but ... can you persist a little longer ? [ incidentally, perhaps now you see the debugging problems, you can see why having more usable user-debugging support for the mail-merge is going to be really useful ]. So - in a nutshell: don't give up ! :-) send the list the code of where you are at, and don't worry - prolly it is not your bug. And thanks of course for struggling with it.
