[scribus] python script result

[JLuc]

Hello,

I'd like to use the page count of a document in a shell script (linux)
A python script can access that count with `scribus.pageCount()`

How can scribus script can output this as a string,
so it's used in a shell script afterward ?

I imagine doing it via writing the result in a text file.
Is there maybe a better way ?
