not really, the script works as is.

for most people it will work correctly without any settings. just name
your csv file as described, run the script and you'll get a bunch
of pdf files.

if you want more, you can create a config file.
the drawback being that you have to spend some time to setup a
json file.
the advantage is that once you have a config file, it's trivial to
adapt it for other projects and you can easily run the script from the
terminal.

if you want a gui for it, i accept pull requests.
it must remain optional and i'd like to have it as simple as possible.
(it might simply be a config generator and loader that can
launch the main script)
personally, i'd prefer to work on a few more features before adding a
GUI.
but i won't stop you if you work on a GUI!

p.s.: i have no personal use for this script, so don't expect a fast
progress.
i've mostly created the script to show a simpler alternative to the
scribus generators, an alternative that works from inside of scribus.
and for experimenting with the reading and writing of styles and
formatting with a script.
