Typically users make a mistake of putting Python plugins to 'scripts' folder. They should be put to plugins folder instead.

Also, please always mention your operating system when reporting issue ;-)

Do you see Python in the Filters menu item? It should be right above Script-Fu . If you don't then your Gimp does not support Python.

Are the Python files set to be executable?

chmod u+x

on a command line (I guess OS X supports this command?), and I'd assume that there is a checkbox somwhere in the UI.

You should be putting them in the plug-ins folder.

This is in particular the case if one downloaded the first OS X item on gimp.org/downloads, which is GIMP 2.8.4 without Python. Try [Partha's Mac 64-bit build] instead or - in case you have an old MacBook with only 32 bit processors - the 32 bit build for Snow Leopard from the [GIMP on OS X website].

Kind regards,

Sven

Yes, that works in general on OS X.

There's a dialog in Finder for this if one right-clicks on that file and selects 'Information'.
However, one can only grant or revoke read and write permissions there, no execution permissions. That's different to Linux and Windows file managers.

Kind regards,

Sven

I don't know squat about Python, unfortunately. However, I just tried starting the python console on my system (freebsd) and it didn't show up.
As I was starting it from an icon on the desktop, I know from past experience that errors often get swallowed when an app is started in this manner. So I started it from a shell window and saw the related errors.

so...

Try starting the gimp from a shell window instead of the normal app launch method. Are there any errors?
