An excellent resource from Akkana Peck (one of the GIMP developers) on creating scripts and plugins for GIMP:

It is also worth mentioning the "Portable Python" project for Windows, which provides a standalone implementation of the Python interpreter along with additional libraries and several useful applications:

Monsoonami's script course needs mentioning here also. Excellent beginner course.

For the script language Python the info after James Henstridge (http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/) is scattered, here some more.
An article about using Python for GIMP and 'PyDev' plug-in for the 'Eclipse' IDE, written by Nathan A. Good (2011).
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/os-autogimp/
Also for debugging 'pygimp' plug-in by 'ofnuts', a member here, see http://gimpforums.com/thread-debugging-python-fu-scripts .
Edit: sorry for the above, this is not the address any more (2016/11/25)!
For some of your 'pygimp' info, open the GIMP python-fu console and enter 'help(gimp)' and save.

Two problems:
1. I would likt to open a new post to ask what I have to ask in 2.

2. VERRY very strange experience! Macbook Gimp 2.10 Emacs
I got out of an (old) backup my change of Arakne huidlab:
guidlabextra.py
I copied it into /Users/peterkhgragert/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins:

And big surprise I got the plugin back and running as expected.
Trying to us Gtk for other things was horrible unsuccessful

The real info seams to be in on dir higher
/Users/peterkhgragert/Library/Application Support/GIMP/2.10/
in pluginrc, there I found it noted. OK so far.
I made copies (with Emacs) to a newly created directory in */2.10
removed all from pluginrc and plug-ins about guideslabextra
and indeed plugin not anymore in a new started GIMP

putting the guidelabextra.py back into plug-ins ==> NO Success starting Gimp again (new).
Now remembering it earlier I saw guideslabextra.py~ shortly in the
startup image of GIMP.
So copying back guideslabextra.py~ to plug-ins.
The plugin works again .

Totally not understood.
And the first try I had only guideslab.py in plug-ins
(not knowing how I got the *.py~ , which seems to be essential to
become really active.

HELP HELP

Move this please to a new post and let me know where, please.

Files ending with "~" are backup copies automatically created by some editors (such as Emacs). IMHO you likely unwillingly edited guideslabextra.py and made changes that are considered a syntax error by Python (Python is very picky about line indentation, a tab or 8 space is not the same indentation, so editing a Python file is fraught with peril if you (or your editor) don't use the same convention as the other author (spaces or tabs). OTOH the backup guideslabextra.py~ is still the original code and works.
