hi greg here a sample script for replacing the text in a specific text frame through a variable text and produce a pdf:
https://github.com/aoloe/scribus-script-sample/blob/master/to-pdf-with-placeholder/to-pdf-with-placeholder.py in this sample i am using the getopt library from the standard python library to parse the arguments. a bit overkill for the two arguments defined in this script, but IMO a good tool as soon as the script gets more complicated. btw, in a real world script i would probably avoid passing the values for replacing the placeholders through the command line and pass them as a json file: $ scribus -g -py to-pdf.py -j my-values.json base-document.sla voil?, my conclusion: being able to pass arguments to a script is a wonderful new feature... but, personally, i would not try to pass more than one or two arguments... but, maybe, someone shows up with good examples where it's efficient to pass multiple arguments. who knows? have a nice evening a.l.e
