GIMP Version: 2.8.10
Operating System: Windows
OS Version: XP sp3
GIMP Experience: Advanced Level

List any relevant plug-ins or scripts:
pyfu

List any ERROR messages you received:
no error


Python console just stopped working. Can anyone help please?
bigger layer preview was last installed but I don't think it was the cause of detachment.

That is weird !
If you remember the last change undo if you can (move back the original plugins) and try with the Win utility to restore (sorry i forgot exact English name , in xp is in All Programs/Accessories

Even if you didn't create a restore point Win creates automatically , chose 1 before the problem

May even work and is easy and harmless to try

  • What do yo mean exactly by "stopped working"? No longer in the menu? Cannot be started? No active interpreter?
  • Do you still have a menu entry "Filters/Render/Clouds/Fog..."?
  • In your Gimp install tree, do you have a file "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\lib\gimp\2.0\interpreters\pygimp.interp" that contains something like:
    Code: Select all
    python=C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe
    /usr/bin/python=C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe
    :Python:E::py::python:
  • Do you have the corresponding "C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\pythonw.exe" (or whatever file is listed in yours)
  • Start a command prompt and CD to that directory. Can you:
    • Run pythonw.exe (should run without error and return immediately)
    • Run python.exe. It should say:
      Code: Select all
      C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python>python
      Python 2.7.2 (default, Jun 12 2011, 15:08:59) [MSC v.1500 32 bit (Intel)] on win
      32
      Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.

Python comes with Gimp 2.8

Re-install Gimp should solve your problem...

Check the file idle.icns ni C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\Python\Lib\idlelib\Icons\idle.icns Sometimes cleaning programs remove it. This may be helpful.

Pogopogo is correct, the idle.icns had been removed by my reg cleaner. Very helpful indeed Pogopogo, I still don't have PyFu but PyConsole is back.

PhotoComix the restore points have not really helped in this instance. Sadly I am Pyfu-less. A much appreciated suggestion though. Thankyou.

ofnuts I have checked the tree and it all looks fine, it has been suggested that PyWin may have disrupted the registry? Not sure how, but I will look into it. Everything was fine and all Python related plug-ins were functioning, after a reboot there was no trace of pyfu nor plugins in the menus.

It certainly is a mystery. The last plugin I installed before PyFu died was Larger Previews. I don't think laprev caused it though, it ran just fine. Re-installed GIMP and PYTHON and PyGTK, did the paths but no luck. Maybe in the new year I will have to install my backup hard drive and see what happens. A lot of software to install though.

Thankyou for your efforts and I will post any advancements. Merry Cristmas and a Happy New Year to you all.
