Some weeks ago I thought about the same. Actually it is quite simple to
implement. I wrote a small wrapper to export all functions via XMLRPC (see
www.xmlrpc.com for more info).
Then another process (even in another language) could access Scribus.

I attached some code
 * scribusrpc.py
   must be loaded inside Scribus and provides the XMLRPC-server
 * scribus.py 
   is a replacement for the builtin module and connects to the server. A new
   command "disconnect" provides a possibility to close the server
 * scribusrpctest.py is a demo for scribus.py
