But this example might not as well involve Scribus, since it doesn't import or create a document, text frame, or anything within Scribus. As far as I can tell from the example after that one, --python-arg is passing tuples, which you then have to parse to assign. If we imagine trying to automate a process where we want to pass a number of variables and their values, this becomes a great deal of very particular syntax on the commandline, and then a lot of parsing in the .py file thereafter. In the end, it seems like a demonstration of concept with little practical use. Greg
