It is looking for a file name in a Unicode string, yes. You haven't
given enough information for me to tell what exactly you've tried to
pass to the function. It's a tuple of some sort, but of what you haven't
said.

You can use the `type', `print' and `repr' functions to examine data in
Python. `len' will tell you how many elements there are in a tuple.

At this point, you don't. Scribus's image handling is built completely
around external images and it has absolutely no support for
document-embedded images or anything else. Sorry.
