But this example might not as well involve Scribus, since it doesn't
import or create a document, text frame, or anything within Scribus.

As far as I can tell from the example after that one, --python-arg is
passing tuples, which you then have to parse to assign.

If we imagine trying to automate a process where we want to pass a
number of variables and their values, this becomes a great deal of very
particular syntax on the commandline, and then a lot of parsing in the
.py file thereafter.

In the end, it seems like a demonstration of concept with little
practical use.
