Development version of the new Scribus scripter

Clone the scribus-plugin-scripter repository and put – or symlink – its src directory into scribus/plugins// as scripter-dev. Then scribus/plugins/CMakeList.txt file and replace the following line

ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(scripter)

with

ADD_SUBDIRECTORY(scripter-dev)

and, then, rerun cmake with the

-DWANT_SCRIPTER2=1 

option.

To compile against Python 3, you will need to edit the CMakeLists.txt in the top-level scribus directory. Change the following line

FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs 2 REQUIRED)

to

FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs REQUIRED)

or

FIND_PACKAGE(PythonLibs 3 REQUIRED)

(not sure yet, which one is the right one)

and re-run cmake.

The error happens in:

#23 0x00007fffcb7aadf8 in Pythonize::runScript (this=0x19bae00, 
    scriptPath=0x1a9a158 "/home/ale/docs/bin/scribus/lib/scribus/plugins/scripter/init_scripter.py")

If i reduce the init_scripter.py file to its first lines

# Add path of init_scripter to Python module search path
import sys, os
scripter_path = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__))
sys.path.insert(0, scripter_path)
print >> sys.stderr, "%s added to PYTHONPATH" % scripter_path

scribus runs correctly.

The next step will to find out which is the offending line.
