The Scripter allows you to use the powerful Python programming language as a scripting language in Scribus. This can help you to automate otherwise repetitive tasks or add new features.</p> <p>Note that additions to the Scripter are being made frequently, which means that the available documentation may be incomplete.</p> <h3>Using the Plug-in</h3> <p>Scribus is being shipped with some “hard-wired” scripts, which are available via <i>Scripter > Scribus Scripts</i>:</p> <table width="100%"><tr><td align="center"><img src="images/Scripter.png" align="center" alt="Running a script" title="Running a script" /></td></tr></table> <p>There are some simple example scripts in the subdirectory “samples.” Its location depends on the operating system you use, e.g. <code>/usr/local/share/scribus</code> or <code>/usr/share/scribus</code> on Linux. If you have created a script which you think could be useful for others, please feel free to add it to the <a href="http://wiki.scribus.net/">Scribus Wiki</a> or paste it into an email and send it to the <a href="http://lists.scribus.info/mailman/listinfo/scribus/">Scribus mailing list</a>.</p> <p>To execute an external Python script, you have to use <i>Script > Execute Script</i>. Scribus will open a file dialog, which allows you to select a Python script (file extension: *.py). <i>Script > Recent Scripts</i> shows a list of recently executed scripts.</p> <p>You can use many Python modules with this plug-in, the only exception being scripts that expect parameters from the command Line. These won’t work because the plug-in gives the Python interpreter an empty command line.</p> <p>The menu entry <i>Script > Show Console</i> will launch an interactive Python console, where you can execute commands directly. There is no need to use “<code>from scribus import *</code>”, as this has already been done. You can use all the commands listed in the following pages of the Scripter API documentation directly without any prefix.</p> </body> </html>
