Hi Matt, I have a hard time trying to figure out what you're trying to do with this script. Somewhere in your Scribus installation there should be a folder named samples. On my Linux (Fedora), it's in /usr/share/scribus. Inside samples is a script named ExtractText.py, which uses getAllText() to collect all the text from a document and save it in a text file. This still works in 1.5.x.
