A TeX exit is on the icon bar of Scribus 1.5.0. Writing special code 
for Scribus in Python or whatever scares ME off.  But to each his 
own. If I worked in that shop I would have the problem solved 
while the OP was still struggling with 
PageItem_TextFrame::DrawObj_Item()
and the like.

I have many tools in my box. Scribus is an important one but not 
the only one.
