Seeing as this is a bit tricky to get up and running, attached is a
rough-and-ready patch to turn wizards->letter into "hello world" in
python.

i.e.

a) add a "hello_world.component" (which gets run through the usual xslt
script via the local makefile.mk to tweak it to give the right location
where the .py will finally get installed) that describes a
hello_world.py component. The .component has the implementation name,
e.g. org.openoffice.comp.pyuno.demo.HelloWorld in it and the services it
implements, e.g. com.sun.star.task.Job

b) I added a hello_world.py that implements that, see its
g_ImplementationHelper.addImplementation for the matching implementation
name and services

c) add that hello_world.component to "postprocess" where it will be
basically added as an entry into the services.rdb in the final install
sets install/program/services.rdb (which is an xml file these days. That
should end up having "<component loader="com.sun.star.loader.Python"
uri="vnd.openoffice.pymodule:hello_world"><implementation
name="org.openoffice.comp.pyuno.demo.HelloWorld"><service
name="com.sun.star.task.Job"/></implementation></component></components>" in it).

d) change the wizards->letter line in officecfg to call it

e) modify scp2 to install it

f) I haven't a clue what the entry in instsetoo_native does anymore, I
think I used to know :-)

hope this helps.
