Hi Craig thank you very much for that link:
I pulled the most recent 1.5.6svn and it installed fine on my windows
machine.
I managed to run the new ScribusGenerator.py from the python3 branch
of the ScribusGenerator project.
So this has saved me lots of time and I can focus on adapting my
personal script from berteh's model.
I have put a note on the Scribus wiki where they mention Windows for
those like me who are interested in SVN versions, not for the fun of
building, but for testing or using certain features.
greetings,
Martin

Hi Martin
They are on sourceforge at
https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-svn/1.5.6.svn/
I’ll ask Jean to get a newer build there though as the last one looks to be
dated end of March.

Dear List,
we are using the "mail merge tool" Scribus Generator for production. A few years ago I
wrote a fork with one added feature which is of little interest to others. (My idea to "allow
a choice of custom CSV-delimiter" has made it into the main branch of Scribus Generator, so I
hope I am not at odds with community ethics.)
I believe now is a good moment to update my script for Python3, since I find a
template on the Scribus Generator Github project.
Please do not get angry, but it would help me, if there were SVN builds out
there for Windows 10 64bit.
I am stuck in Germany, far away from my main office and have no access to any
Linux machine (and no spare computers lying around either). But I can find more
time now than otherwise.
If there are no ready builds, I found this page for instructions on the wiki
https://wiki.scribus.net/canvas/Building_SVN_versions_on_Windows
but this mentioned file /trunk/Scribus/BUILDING_win32_msvc.txt
looks somewhat outdated to me (no criticism, just an observation)
So never having built on Windows (and only a few times on Linux), and mainly
just wanting to update my script, I am hoping for either a recent
Windows-build, which is ready for testing Python3 scripts, as mentioned by Jean
(see below) or maybe some pointers (or notes) by people who have some
experience with the Windows context for building.
Thanks for your input,
Martin

Hi all,
Python 2 will soon be out of support and some distros have already started the
process
which will lead to the removal of Python 2 packages from their repositories.
This took some time, but Scribus scripter has now been ported to Python 3 which
means
that Scribus 1.5.6.svn now depends on Python 3 packages. Those of you using
Ubuntu or
Debian derived distributions and compiling Scribus by their own will want to
install the
python3-dev package in order to continue to do so. It is also recommended to
install the
python3-tk package.
This changes will break lots of existing scripts due to differences between the
Python 2
and Python 3 languages. Those of you relying on scripts for their tasks and
using PPAs for
getting 1.5.6.svn images may want to delay further updates and use AppImages in
order to
port their scripts to Python 3.
The AppImage generation process might be broken at this point tho. However if
it is, it will
be fixed quickly.
Jean
