Summary0017570: New user, script error
DescriptionI am new to Scribus and I am trying to run the "Import an image in the way office-programs do" script from the Script series.

I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 11, in <module>
  File "<string>", line 42
    print "This script only runs from within Scribus."
          ^
SyntaxError: Missing parentheses in call to 'print'. Did you mean print("This script only runs from within Scribus.")?
Steps To Reproduce I have followed these steps:
1. Saved a text copy of the script from () as a .py file
2. Opened Scribus >> Script >> Execute Script
3. Selected Script

change that line to

print("This script only runs from within Scribus.")

(adding the parenthesis).

if there are further issues, please ask for support in the forums (since the script is not part of scribus)

p.s.:i will now try to run the script on my computer and make sure that it runs with modern scribus and python
