hi John,

Pyhton in Scribus knows it all. What exactly do you need?

see docs for e.g. (tasks you listed above):
newDoc(size, margins, orientation, firstPageNumber, unit, facingPages, firstSideLeft)
createImage(x, y, width, height, ["name"]) -> string
loadImage("filename" [, "name"])
createText(x, y, width, height, ["name"]) -> string
setText("text", ["name"])
setStyle("style" [, "name"])
saveDoc()
closeDoc()

cheers
