There are some Constants defined to help using the Commands:
The script interface provides two variables containing the current Scribus version in the scribus module. Scripts can use these variables to check that they're running under the version of Scribus they expect, and to report information about incompatibilities to the user. These two variables, scribus_version and scribus_version_info, were added in 1.2.1 and 1.3.0cvs and will not be present in earlier versions. If you need to, you can check for their presence with hasattr(scribus, 'scribus_version').
scribus_version contains the current Scribus version as a string. It will usually look like '1.2.1cvs' or '1.3.0', for example, but is not guaranteed to always follow that format. This variable is useful when you need to display the version to the user, for example when reporting an incompatibility. Do not parse or compare this variable, that is what scribus_version_info is for.
scribus_version_info is a tuple similar to the sys.version_info tuple provided by Python. It is a tuple of the form (majorversion, minorversion, patchlevel, extraversion, build) for example, 1.2.1cvs will have (1,2,1,'cvs',0) and 1.3.2 will have (1,3,2,'',0) . These tuples are ideal for checking for minimum versions, etc, because Python compares tuples element-by-element, left-to-right. For example:
if scribus.scribus_version_info[:3] < (1,2,2):
messageBox("Scribus - Python script",
"This script requires Scribus 1.2.2 or newer. "+\
"You're running %s." % scribus.scribus_version,

Unit Enumeration Constants:
- UNIT_POINTS
- Measurement Unit Point = 0
- UNIT_MILLIMETERS
- Measurement Unit Millimeter = 1
- UNIT_INCHES
- Measurement Unit Inch = 2
- UNIT_PICAS
- Measurement Unit Pica = 3
Unit Conversion Constants
These conversion factors can be used to convert units to and from points.
Thus, to convert inches to points, you can simply write 'value/inch', to
convert points to inches you write 'value*inch', and to convert inches to mm
you write 'value*mm/inch' .

- Other constants will be provided if the Scribus core knows about them.
