A series of gimp functions should be callable via python, as described here: http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/ I have a /usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py file - but " from gimpfu import * " in python tells me there's no such module.

Just a quick reply for now .. Potential ways to address this problem seem to be: - Extend PYTHONPATH system-wide - Add workaround symlinks - Expect the user/developer to extend PYTHONPATH him/herself Any other options? In Debian, gimpfu.py is located [1] at /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/python/gimpfu.py I will check how that works out in practice, when I have my hands on a Debian desktop the next few days. [1] http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/gimp/filelist
Yeah, I tried adding the dir to the path myself. ''' #!/usr/bin/env python import sys sys.path.append("/usr/lib64/gimp/2.0/python/") from os import path, listdir from gimpfu import * #~ import pdb input_folder = "/home/chymera/src/pyxrand/orig1" for pic_name in listdir (input_folder): pic_path = input_folder + pic_name im = pdb.file_jpeg_load(pic_path, pic_path) print im break ''' This little bit of code fails with: (process:24875): LibGimpBase-ERROR **: gimp_wire_write_msg: the wire protocol has not been initialized Trace/breakpoint trap
So on Debian "from gimpfu import *" does not seem to work either. This is sys.path over there: [ "", "/usr/lib/python2.7", "/usr/lib/python2.7/plat-x86_64-linux-gnu", "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-tk", "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-old", "/usr/lib/python2.7/lib-dynload", "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages", "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages", "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL", "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gst-0.10", "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/gtk-2.0", "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7", "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode", ] I dare to close the bug. If you see need to re-open, I will need your help with an appropriate way to address the issue.
