Confirmed on osx 10.8.5 1.5.0svn r19469
Endless loop

It works OK with Scribus 1.5.0svn on Fedora 20 Linux (with the expected provision that Scribus is frozen until the calendar dialog is closed).
The script is in scribus/plugins/scriptplugin/scripts/CalendarWizard.py
The script builds the GUI dialog using TkInter.
Scribus, python and TkInter all have their own event loops, and maybe the versions on your Mac are not compatible. Fedora 20 has qt5-5.3.2, python-2.7.5, tkinter-2.7.5, and tk-8.5.14.
Can you tell if it is looping or hanging?
If you can run Scribus under a debugger, can you get a stack trace?

Hey William :) Thanks for your response.
To answer your question, it looks like it's looping

re: debugger
for some reason I can't compile Scribus with debug symbols correctly on Mac OSX. So gdb is useless. I've asked around for someone who may be able help with this issue. Stay tuned.

William, the output above doesn't have tkinter AFAIU from craig.
tkinter has dependencies of xorg-libX11
Talking with Craig a little more it seems that most likely this script will need to be ported away from tikinter, perhaps QML ?

Is there still any chance that the new scripter will support PyQt?
In the traceback, at frame 9, the python interpreter calls tkinter.
Frame 8 initializes tkinter.
Frame 7 initializes tcl (the scripting language for tkinter).
Frames 6 and 5 initialize tk (the gui module used by tkinter).
Something unexpected happened in frame 4 that was forwarded to frame 3 which converted it to a "doesNotRecognizeSelector" handled in frame 2 which ended the process in frames 1 and 0.
Was the event in frame 4 the cause the problem or just an artifact of stopping the process to make the stack trace?
Considering that it works on Linux, it might be related to how the libraries were built, especially if it has worked on Macs before.
Here is some information on doesNotRecognizeSelector:

i'm not sure if it ever worked on macOS in the past.

btw. it's the same problem with the scripts 'align_image_in_frame' and 'fontSample' (which use tkinter as well…)

 should we just set an intention to migrate away from tkinter to pyqt ? Craig found a solution for OSXers which would be to potentially download https://www.python.org/download/mac/tcltk

Using Mac OSX Yosemite 10.10. I've installed ActiveTcl 8.6.4 (newest version) as well as a copy of Python 2.7.8. Tkinter still does not seem to run for scripts on Scribus 1.4.4.

Tested a script with just

root = Tkinter.Tk()

Nothing pops up; blue spinning wheel spins indefinitely.

The team is discussing making tkinter obsolete and therefore rendering this block irrelevant. See thread: http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus-dev/2015-November/002770.html
