It would be useful for you to test the instructions themselves.
First instructions are already in the Krita Manual:
https://docs.krita.org/Category:User_Manual

Under the unstable features heading.https://docs.krita.org/Category:Python_Scripting

They expect Python 3. Their scripter environment expects Python 3.5 but can be coaxed \
to work with earlier versions of 3.

Scripting is not in the beta because of packaging problems (Linux) and errors \
(Windows). https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=388848

This might(?) have been resolved for Windows in the nightly builds, but if you want \
to use scripting on Linux you'll need to build it yourself. Getting the dependencies \
is a bit of a hassle. Once you've got them, it takes me about half an hour to compile \
on my laptop.
