People begin to think of themselves as “Python programmers” or “GIMP users” and the name of the project fuses irrevocably with their identity.

I thought that surely this would be trivial to script up in a plugin for gimp in python. Apparently I was horribly mistaken. 4 hours later and I have even less of an idea of how to get this to work.

GIMP 3.0 expands support to extensions written in Python 3, JavaScript, Lua, and Vala, providing developers with greater flexibility to enhance the application’s functionality.
