I have opened up a wiki page JCulleton and placed the description of the script and the script itself on that page. The wiki software tends to do strange things to program text so a safer source for the script source is: http://www.wexfordpress.com/softcover_inch.py
This completes my work on this project. Hopefully the script will in time be included in Scribus releases. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html Updated PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus 1.4.5" coming soon at http://www.booklocker.com/!
