I created simple script from example provided by viivakoodi :
=== bar.py
import barcode
from barcode.writer import ImageWriter
ean = barcode.get('ean13', '123456789102', writer = ImageWriter())
filename = ean.save('ean13')
====

When i run this script from scribus as:
scribus-1.5.2.svn -g -py bar.py
i do find ean13.png file created.
This script also produce desired png if I run scrip from scribus using
GUI menu (Scripter -> Execute Script ...)

It is hard to guess why you have your problem. Next time try to include
info about OS you are running on, python version, scribus version etc...

If you are on Windows platform, it might be that python you run your
script manualy, and the one you run from scribus is not the same and
later one can not find PIL library. I would restrain myself from further
guessing about environment you run your programs on.
