you cannot run python script outside of scribus.

for a start, please use "Script > Execute Script" in the scribus menus...

hi craig

nice start.

personally, i still believe, that the attribute TOC must go away. it adds useless complexity both in the code and in the UI.

what are your plans for further features?
the current state does not seem production ready yet : - )

p.s.: you can read this thread and https://forums.scribus.net/index.php/topic,4480.0.html to find some edge cases that need to be supported... (the README and the python script might also be helpful...)

Scripts and Plugins / Import scribus module for pyth...
Last post by loudo - March 19, 2024, 03:34:19 PM
Hello everyone,

here's my problem: I'm making a calendar design with Scribus (version 1.6.1) by putting empty text fields that just have a property name. For example, an empty text field with the property name "year".
I'm writing a python code to modify these text fields. It will automatically fill these fields with the right dates for each day, depending on the year.
My configuration: I'm using a macOS M1 laptop, the text editor 'Visual Studio Code and I have a virtual environment and python 3.11.

How do I import the Scribus module? I can't install it.   At the moment, I'm getting an error: ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scribus'.

Thanks for your help.

See you soon,
Loudo

I have a computer under MX-Linux (debian based)

I have another under Windows10. This machine cannot migrate to Windows 11 (too old) so, i probably go to replace Windows 10 (when update ending) by Debian or SpiralLinux (easiest debian based) or by Manjaro, or by Opensuse Slowroll, or by Fedora (design suite)... I don't know exactly.

Last post by OSDP - March 18, 2024, 03:12:31 AM
If you're just creating projects for web, use the tool you prefer. Also Scribus if you want to learn it.
It is if your project needs prints and professional recommendations (margin guides, bleeds) that scribus is preferable/required. If your project needs a few pages/layers, scribus handles it better I think, even it's not really perfect.
You can manage icc color profiles on scribus. Necessary for professionnal print, potentially useful for the web. This is completely impossible with Libre Office.
