[scribus] PDFfile causes looping to fail?

[ZASKE Martin]

I tested your actual script from your last mail on my Scribus 1.5.4
(Windows 10) and got your exact error message.

My python editor had pointed out a wrong quote-character at the end of
your message box (line 35). When I corrected to a normal " the error was
gone. Hope this helps.


This is the line, note the ending quotes are different:
 	scribus.messageBox("No Open Document", "You need to have a document
open to save it as PDF.”)
