another photobook script

hello,
i'm writing a hopefully simple script that I can point at a folder of jpegs, and have it make a page per pic with an image frame on it, with one of the jpegs in.
this is what I've got so far:

------------------------------




import os

import glob






os.chdir('/imagefolder')
os.scandir('/imagefolder')





 pics = glob.glob('*.jpg')

for p in pics:
newPage(1)
 createImage(0, 0, 90,90,["pic{picname}".format(picname = p)])

 

 

 

-----------------
at the moment it doesn't seem to work as I was expecting in scribus, I adapted it for general python, the string formatting  does what i'd expected (appends "pic" onto the filename, I was planning to name  the imageframes like this):



-----------
import os
import glob


os.chdir(' /imagefolder')
os.scandir('/imagefolder')

pics = glob.glob('*.jpg')

for p in pics:
 print(p) 
 print("pic{picname}".format(picname = p))---------------------

the bit where I create new pages also only works under certain circumstances


for p in pics:
newPage(1)
sometimes it makes 19 new pages, other times it makes 1, other times it doesn't make any, it doesn't work at all when I use my createImage line, but I did manage to create one image frame when I gave it a hardcoded name


 createImage(0, 0, 90,90,["pic{picname}".format(picname = p)])

 

 

 


any ideas? I was planning to follow this with a loadImage

this is in 1.5.6.1

cheers :)
