Linux - Scribus - Python scripts?

odiug

I am trying to photobook a bunch of jpgs and eventually convert them to pdf for printing. However, I am having trouble finding an easy automated way of doing this. The images have all been resized to about 2.5"x3.5" and would fit 3x3 to a page on a normal sheet of paper (with margins).

These are just some of the links (and scripts) that I have looked at:
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Making_a_photobook_from_a_directory_of_images_using_a_script
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images:_Versions_not_requiring_Tkinter
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Automatic_import_of_images_from_a_directory_using_a_script
http://lists.scribus.info/pipermail/scribus/2006-November/020899.html

These scripts did not provide the functionality I was looking for, and in the majority of cases I was receiving errors anyhow.

If anyone might be able to point me in the right direction, that would be great. If not, thank you for your time reading this.
