I'm looking for the source package for the latest version of gimp-python. The official FTP distribution site at is rejecting connections. If
someone could point me to an FTP or HTTP mirror, that would be great.

It's distributed in the same tarball as the rest of GIMP, since, well, before GIMP 2.0.

I'll try downloading the whole GIMP tarball and seeing if I can build just the gimp-python part. I'm using a SuSE 9.3 system with gimp-2.2.9 installed via the official RPMs, which don't include gimp-python. Neither can I find any SuSE gimp-python RPM. ("apt-cache search gimp-python" and related searches come up empty.)

I am surprised that there is not a "gimp-python" in suse, there is certainly one in the Ubuntu which is the flavour of the month here.

Would highly commend you try building the Gimp from source even if you don't install it

When you run a ./configure --endless-options it will tell you what is missing from your system and maybe the suse set up can get them for you

That way you will have a 'complete' Gimp

Given that the page talks about GIMP 1.0 and 1.1 and not anything newer, you could also have assumed it's a bit dated.

Google doesn't always give the right answer either. Remember that.

It isn't very straightforward to build things piecemeal like that, though it is *possible* if you know what you're doing. Better to file a bug with SuSE and get them to package it.

yes..Ther indeed is no way to get a bianry of GIMP-python for SuSE. (ijsut spent more time looking for it than it would take me to write the script for you. - but I oppened a request for it on SuSE's bugzilla).

You have to download the GIMP source, pass the configure script, with the "--prefix" parameter to be the same as in SuSE, and with the "--enable-python" option.

The configure script will spill out some errors due to missing packages (most likely py-gtk-devel and so on) Install the packages and retry until it finishes fine.

Then, just change to the dir plug-ins/pygimp and type make and make install (as root)

Then, it is a matter of pickingone the example scripts, and modify it to make the steps you described - just look in the PDB-browser (XTNS menu) for the correct functions to call and its parameters. I will write it if I am available later.

been there:

but it will take a couple of months at least.
