you can try:
scribus.setLineStyle(scribus.LINE_DASHDOTDOT)

scribus.setLineStyle() probably does not do what you expect it to do. It
does set only one attribute of line - type of line to use. Read help for
coresponding scribus.getLineStyle().
You can use only one of those constant as value passed to function:
 scribus.LINE_SOLID
 scribus.LINE_DASH
 scribus.LINE_DOT
 scribus.LINE_DASHDOT
 scribus.LINE_DASHDOTDOT

If you want to change other aspects of line pick one of scribus.setLine* function:
setLineBlendmode
setLineCap
setLineColor
setLineJoin
setLineShade
setLineStyle
setLineTransparency
setLineWidth

(Note that setLineSpacing and setLineSpacingMode are about text frame not about lines as drawing)

If I understand correct You want to associate "TableLineStyle" to some
line, then let user change that style as he wish and it is reflected on
line. I am afraid we do not have API to do this.
