"do row" fails to add rows

I'm running python 2.6 and appy 0.8.3. I'm trying to fill an ods spreadsheet with some values.

Given this in Python:

plist = [{'company': 'test', 'email': '<email address hidden>'}, {'company': 'test1', 'email': '<email address hidden>'}, {'company': 'meh', 'email': '<email address hidden>'}]

 renderer = Renderer('test.ods', locals(), 'result.ods')
    renderer.run()

This as the comment in the ods spreadsheet:

do row for company in plist

And the following two cells to the right of the comment: ="person['company']" ="person['email']"

The resulting ods document fails to add new rows. The fields are correctly replaced with whatever the last item in the dictionary plist was... so I know it's iterating through plist, but not adding a new row in each iteration.

I get an error message (summarized, it's long) in the comment field: "Syntax error for statement "Do row for person in plist". A Pod statement has the form: do {element} [{command} {expression}]. "

I'd like it to add a new row in the ODS document for each row in the dictionary "plist". Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!
