Installing PyGIMP on Windows

Question

On the web, I can find various example on gimp scripting with python.

http://www.jamesh.id.au/software/pygimp/ http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/pygimp.html

We need to import the gimpfu module to get the examples to work. Where can we get the installer of PyGIMP on Windows? It seems the project is dead and the links are broken.

Answer 1

In order to develop Gimp scripts using Python-fu I have followed gimp users article, In short you need to download & install the following:

1. Python 32-bit from here.
2. All in one 32-bit from here.
3. Gimp 2.6 32-bit from here.

Then you need to create your-plugin.py file in C:\Users\MyUsername.gimp-2.6\plug-ins

P.S: Restart your gimp after adding code or modifying your register() function in order to take effect each time.
