[scribus] Python SQL fetch and formatting xml tags

Hi
My magazine uses a php sql system that I built for importing stories
into what used to be Indesign, but is now Scribus ; -)
Indesign was able to import xml files and apply styles to matching tags.
I am sure Scribus can do this with some python help AND one won't even
have to go via an xml file and instead connect directly to the db.
I just need some help with this script.
1. I need to be able to fetch a record's field (perhaps with a provided
id for now).
2. Import the content (text) into a frame (probably the selected frame)
3. apply styles to matching tags ie. "<textem>this is italics</textem>"
4. Delete the tags
I'm sure this is doable and I will try to do so but I think I
specifically need help with 3 and 4.
Any ideas?
Thanks
