Yes, scripting was disabled in 3.x due to upstream changes,<br>
but I have not looked into it lately so things might have improved.<br>
Hmmm, not much. Seems only javascript has been implemented. (In kde4 it <br>
could do python, ruby and more)<br></blockquote><div>Sims KDE Bindings are dead, at least their mailing list. PyKF5 is also very poorly mantained, as in only a few libraries are supported from the KF5 base 1 layer. Also comparing it to PyKDE4, perhaps this new iteration of KDE has major roadblocks to get some portability from one version to the next. <br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">
Probably we should look to krita to see how they have dealt with it.<br>

Since 3.1 I think only handling of multiple pages has been added,<br>
all ui and graphics functionality is as in 3.1.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That's great for Desktop publishing.
