Hi,

There are quite a number of errors.

The first one mentioned above should have only

except ImportError:

You also need to make sure all the print statements have their object enclosed in parentheses.

I eliminated the import tkFont line, and you need to spell tkinter without a capital T.

The alignment needed fixing for

    if scribus.haveDoc() == 0:
        scribus.messageBox("Error", "Please create a Document", ICON_WARNING, BUTTON_OK)
        return

After these changes, it ran for me, using Scribus 1.5.7svn.

You can save some editing time by changing the color defined as "Black" here:

    def okButon_pressed(self):
        grid(self.x.get(),self.y.get(),self.w.get(),self.h.get(),self.xs.get(),self.ys.get(),"Black")
        self.quit()
