Summary0009736: Script "hangs" scribus, needs to be killed
DescriptionI have used the script from [1] with older versions of scribus without trouble.
Since some time it running the script will "dim" the scribus window and later hang.
I tried adding a few print statements but as far as I can tell all looks fine.
I do not know if this is an Ubuntu problem or a scribus one.
If you have any suggestions how to further debug, please let me know.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Steps To Reproducestart scribus-ng in ubuntu 10.04
Do not create new document
run script photobook_layout.py
select folder with some images (in my case just 4 for testing)
-> Scribus hangs.
TagsNo tags attached.

this seems to be the corresponding ubuntu bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scribus-ng/+bug/685625

nobody cares if this is an "evil ubuntu" bug or a "scribus bug" it would just be nice to get a working scripter

infers that this is a python issue not a scribus issue.
