I wrote long time ago a python script that elaborate a sla ( add pages, 
changing tags , images ) and a parto to convert a sla into pdf using 
reportlab.
i use it inside promogest ( www.promogest.me ) but i had no time to 
complete the  code for stand alone release. It works very well even if 
the scribus code best sport is to change xml-sla format :)  now it 
support 1.4
maybe can be a start point for you. I use it in a web framework ( also 
in python ) too

Ciao
Francesco
