Where to get Python fu?

Thu Jan 28, 2016 8:52 pm

GIMP Version: 2.8.14
Operating System: Windows
GIMP Experience: Basic Level



Hello I was watching this video about creating gradients by using the palette editor. For it to work, I need Python Fu. Where may I find this?

I can not find it. Filters dont list it.

Hmm. This is standard on Windows Gimp since 2.8, and even late 2.6 installers would also set it up.What Gimp version are you running on which OS?

I wonder if that video is the correct reference. Nothing in there suggests that python-fu is required and OP can already make a gradient from a palette see: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=12995&p=176316#p176316

FWIW Confirm that python is there: Filters -> Python-Fu -> Console and check that the command line activates.

As a guess.
Maybe OP is trying to run some external-to-gimp python script that does require a full python installation. Do a search for installing Python in Windows
or
Trying to run a gimp-python filter something.py directly. A no-no. Gimp filters run from the Gimp menu system.
