[scribus] Basic question

[Thomas B Winans]

Relative to my request below… my hope is to be able to invoke scribus from the command line without launching the application.. It appears that the current 1.5.x capabilities with the -py switch depend upon starting the application.

Thank you,
Tom

I intend to build some complex documents (in the sense that content is customized and personalized on a large scale) and would like to see if I can use Scribus as the PDF print-to-file engine… I see commentary to this in various places, and I see Python script possibilities (that look more like application extensions to me), but don’t see specifics that help me to understand if what I need can be done.
