Hi JLuc,

I would say just experiment. 
If a Scribus script writes to a file, what does a shell script say when it reads the file?
You could write the python so that it saves str(value), though when the shell script reads the file, that may not make any difference.
On the other hand, when python reads a file, it reads numbers as strings, so you have to convert to use them as a number in python.
