Here is my last line in a simple program that is a scribus script.

This works. Now I want to put a float number called S instead of 'dummy'.
If I just put S in the command I get an error. If I convert S to a string with
SS = str(S)
first and then
and substitute SS for 'dummy' I get what appears to be the ASCII numbers
representing the characters, not the characters I want.
I am a total newbie with Python. Anyone have a suggestion? Can I use a print
command instead?

I think you just want some string formatting so (untested) either
end = scribus.messageBox('Book Spine Width', '{}'.format(S),
ICON_WARNING, BUTTON_OK)
or
end = scribus.messageBox('Book Spine Width', '%f' % S, ICON_WARNING,
BUTTON_OK)
For all the formatting options see
https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#string-formatting or
https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#old-string-formatting
respectively.
