Python Install Help

Willy maybe you could not resist the tentation to install the last stable version of Python ?

If so there the problem gimp 2.6 require a obsolete version, same for the other libraries so grab the gimptrick pack and use that

It would be cool to be able to use the most current version of python inside Windows GIMP. Maybe some folks here might figure a way to allow this, so I do agree with you PC.

Okay here is what you probably need to do Willy.
If your system can not find the Python Path you need to create a variable for it.
Not sure how this works on Vista I am guessing about the same though -
Go to - Start/Control Panel/System/
When the dialog for system opens tick the advanced tab
Click the Environment Variables tab (should be at the bottom)
Click new for System Variables (bottom)
After clicking new a new path dialog will pop up put these value in it

variable name - PythonPath
variable value - C:\PYTHON26;C:\PYTHON26\DLLs;C:\PYTHON26\LIB;C:\PYTHON26\LIB\LIB-TK

Copy it ---> the path exactly like i typed it without the "variable value -"

Restart your machine after clicking ok a bunch of times to close everything
Restart Gimp go to Filters/Render/Clouds
See if fog is listed if it is you are all set.

Python 2.6 and 2.7 can coexist. Python 2.6 is needed for Gimp 2.6 and Python 2.7 is needed for Gimp 2.7, I wounder if it is just a coincidence?

Willy did you get Python-Fu installed yet?

I tried this, and it still doesn't work D:

If you installed Gimp with Python square ticked it should know where python is already anyways - weird
Look in your plug-ins folder and see if
pyconsole.py
python- console.py and
python-eval.py files are in there.

And did you try this?

[Willy]

Got all three of those in C:>Program Files>GIMP-2.0>Lib>GIMP>2.0>Pulg-ins

Amanda I believe all that is in there is the stuff I already have downloaded...

Willy download and install this package
http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/gnome/binaries ... _win32.zip
This will install GTK+ on your machine - then you should be able to install PYGTK.
Install it to its default directory which should be C:/program files/GTK+
If not - make sure to install it there
