[scribus-dev] Need help with python script

[JLuc]

Hello

great project !

In http://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Generate_a_ten_page_layout_with_three_columns_on_each_page
i see
newDoc((185, 250), (12, 20, 15, 28), PORTRAIT, 1, UNIT_MILLIMETERS, FACINGPAGES, FIRSTPAGELEFT)

I'm not sure it fits your needs but you might find what you look for
in other available public scripts ?
