Python

I downloaded, compiled and installed gimp2.3.13, followed by the obligatiory copy of xsane to the plug-ins directory. It would be nice if this could be included in the gimp distribution.

On the subject of plug-ins, I have python on my system but not some GTK fragment that Gimp wants. So I did a configure excluding Python. I am assuming that there are script-fu etc. scripts avialable to cover the functionality of most Python scripts. Is there something important that I am missing by not having Python?

By not having the Python bindings built, you lose the ability to script GIMP using Python, and hence lose the use of any scripts which are written in Python. That's pretty much it.

Kind regards,
