#!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- """ ABOUT THIS SCRIPT: Import CSV data files as tables into Scribus 1. Create a table frame with the desired size and positioned where you want the table to be located 2. Make sure it is selected 3. Execute this script: 4. Resize the table to fix it's appearance You will be prompted for a csv filename 4. The data from the csv file will be imported and a table will be drawn on the page. LIMITATIONS: 1. 2. HINTS: Postgresql: You can easily create a CSV file with a Postgresql database. From Postgresql, toggle unaligned output with the '\a' switch, then activate a comma as a separator with '\f ,' (without apostrophes). Send output to a file with '\o myfile.csv', then query your database. Sqlite3: You can use "sqlite3 -csv" in the command line or ".mode csv" in sqlite's interactive shell. ############################ LICENSE: This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
