> Berteh's patch lets you pass arbitrary flags and arguments to the python script.
> For example, my example script inserts text into a text frame in an SLA file.
> Instead of hard-coding the name of the text file in the script, you can pass it on the command line with "scribus -g -py storydeptharg.py --python-arg -storyfile sample.txt depthtemplate.sla" (I'm not sure about the final syntax that they settled on.)
> The python script the sees an argv that contains "-storyfile" and "sample.txt".
> The command line options are very useful for anyone who is trying to script Scribus from another program, perhaps to create documents or to export documents to PDF.
> Without the command line patch, you have to hard-code the file names or you have to generate a customized script each time or you have to pass arguments through environment variables.
> I think that the command line comes from sys.argv, so you might be able to use "def main():" and then look at sys.argv.
> My example has
> def main(argv):
>    ...
> if __name__ == '__main__':
>    main(sys.argv)
