https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/commit/93cc81281cd12c55139f483d65629be9c31e798d "make Python plug-ins mandatory. Unlike the other bindings (Lua, JS, Vala) where we only have a demo plug-in, we actually have a bunch of interesting and useful Python plug-ins. Furthermore, we are running several Python scripts through GIMP during our build (to generate a few images), so pygobject becomes a build dependency anyway, even if it may not be a run dependency with -Dpython=disabled. This all becomes a bit confusing and in fact handling this case (of not installing Python plug-ins) seems like an annoyance while we lose good core plug-ins. So let's just make Python plug-ins mandatory. It's not like Python is very controversial these days, and AFAWK, it is available on every platform out there." Now the ebuild needs changes.
I changed the .ebuild but the build process is currently broken: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gimp/-/issues/11935
