Petr, do you mean that commands must be run from the script console, or 
that Scribus must be run from a terminal session?

If the former, then sure - that's the most useful way to get the 
documentation, though you can also use PyDoc to generate HTML if you 
like. As for running it from a terminal, that shouldn't be necessary to 
see the help() output, though it will be required to see warnings from 
scripts run using Execute Script so it's generally a good idea. You 
should just be able to use 'help()' from the script console with no issues.

Interesting. I've found that when run from the script console or another 
output source Python considers 'non-interactive', it doesn't tend to 
prompt for input but rather dumps the entire output of help() to the 
script console at once. I'd be interested in knowing what circumstances 
you find it prompts you under.
