hi Henning,

It looks very interesting.
Is it writtent to work with 135svn or anything else?

Anyway it looks a bit cryptic for me. Can you provide more docs in the code,
please?

I had a little talk with one guy from Kross team. He said they will have
pure Qt (no kde deps) Kross ready in 2 months propably. What are
dis/advantages of your solution comparing to Kross?

Do you have some ideas of "scripterng object model"? I mean what do you want
to export from Scribus to python?

Good idea - except one thing: it's another dependency to distribute. It's
not problem on Linux/unix but it could be an issue on Windows.

Perfect.

Let's wait for Craig Ringer comments. He knows quite everything about Python
integration.

cheers!
