[scribus] PDFfile causes looping to fail?

[ZASKE Martin]

Jerry,

I am always having the latest 1.4.n and latest "stable" 1.5.n and one
recent 1.5.svn on my computer. Three Scribus flavours in parallel.

For new projects I use 1.5.3 at the moment, old projects I open
depending on how they got created.

Small less than a day projects I try with the lastest Scribus available.



I put your lines below into a file, called it test3.py and ran it on my
Win 10 Pro 64bit through Scribus 1.4.7 and had no visible activity and
no error message at all. Like a.l.e


So: People are using 1.4.7 where it is right for them.

Again: If you want better bug-hunting, please provide a Scribus file and
a real-life script and what you hope to see and then we can try on our
machines.

Courage, Scribus is fundamentally stable in all versions. I have not
lost any work in several years through Scribus evilness. Please do not
forget to inform this forum, if/when/in-case you figure out the problem.

There are many good people here, the more you provide, the better we can
help you.

It’s still listed as the stable version on the web site, which really goes out of its way to warn people that the development version will likely cause problems.

I’ve been assuming that the problem must be something I’m doing, since iterating through lists is such a basic task. But if no-one is using 1.4.7, that might also explain it.
