hi greg,
i've used your script to do a test round of the new scripter!
the result is a dozen of bug reports, a couple of patches and one new
script that almost works!
--- 8< ---
import sys
if not Scripter.activeDocument:
# scribus.messageBox('Scribus - Script Error', "No document open",
Scripter.dialogs.alert("A document must be open.")
sys.exit(1)
document = Scripter.activeDocument
#Scripter.activeWindow.setRedraw(False) # TODO
if document.selectionCount == 1:
item = document.activeItem
# TODO check if it's a text frame or exit
if item.textOverflows == False:
line_n = item.textLines
distance_lrtb = item.distances
# print distance_lrtb
distance_lrtb[2] = (item.height - (item.textLines *
item.lineSpacing)) / 2
item.distances = distance_lrtb
else:
Scripter.dialogs.alert("The text frame should not overflow.")
else:
Scripter.dialogs.alert("Please only select one text frame.")
#Scripter.activeWindow.setRedraw(True)

... probably, we will be showing it next week at the Rencontres
mondiales du logiciel libre (http://rmll.info) in geneva :-)
however, as you can see the new syntax is much more compact and
clean... but there will be a lot of work to do to port all the old
scripts to the new scripter.
have a nice evening
a.l.e
