I've commented out that line. That function doesn't appear in the Python docs, as far as I can tell. At this point I'll leave the internationalization to others. Feel free to modify this script to make it work with UTF-8 (or whatever). If you get it working, let me know and I'll post the updated version. When I get a chance to play with getting input from the user, I'll look at adding that but for now, it's in a pretty good state. One more (slightly related) question for anyone in the know. If this script (or I assume any script that changes the status message or progress indicator) is running and you try to put some other window into the foreground, every time the status message and progress indicator changes it puts Scribus back on top. Is there any way to tell it not to do that? If I've got a long script running and I put it in the background, I'd like it to stay there. -- Henry
