Okay look in the ProgramFiles(x86) folder and see if python26 32 bit is installed there.

I don't have python26 32 bit. I just have python 26 64 bit. That is the one I installed the other day in place of the 2.5..... It isn't in the program files(86), it is down below it as shows in one of the last scrn shots I sent. I was wondering if I could go to C: and cut python and paste it into program files(86). I don't know how or why it went below it unless Python likes to be by itself.

I looked in my environment variables and they are not even there for Python, yet, my python works for w/ GIMP. That is a strange one indeed.

Molly keep your python in C.That is where it should be.

Okay so do any of your python scripts work?

You could download the 32 bit version and install it in ProgramFiles(x86).
Then create a new variable to reflect its path
You would download and install python26 32 bit in ProgramFiles(x86)
Then go to Start/Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environment variables.
Click on new create this variable
Variable name - PYTHONPATH
Variable value - C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Python26\bin;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Python26\tcl;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Python26\Lib;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Python26\DLLs;C:\ProgramFiles(x86)\Python26\libs
Click ok, ok, ok again restart computer
That should do it.
Now install pygtk,pycairo, and pyobject.
Be sure you install them in the 32 bit version of Python26 not the 64 bit version.
Python installs usually give you a choice where to install them.
After installing those three modules - restart your computer again.

Restart gimp and try the filter again.

Rod, Iwill do that But I have been searching all day for the 2.6(32-bit) one. Can't find one, it keeps directing me to 2.7. I don't want that cuz then my cairo etc won't work.

Thought so and that is why i uploaded it to here a year ago.

Thanks a lot Rod. Don't know where you found it but I grabbed it.
I am going out for Chinese food in a while so I will go back and start from scratch. I will remove the (x64) one first then download and install the (32). Should I try to get it to go into the programs(86) folder?

No install into its default C directory so you will not have to change the variable.
Have a great meal, and i hope all works well for you.

Just a side note.
Parthas compiles work very nice and have python already installed within them.I use 2.7.3 daily and have had no issues whatsoever.
If you can not get the script to work with 2.6.11 try Parthas 2.7.3 version.Its soooo nice.

O Gawd, I don't know what I am getting into here. I saw that Partha"s thingy but I didn't dare to touch it in case I really screwed up.. I wouldn't have the regular Gimp anymore, would I????? I will try the 2.6.11 first then give the other serious thought.
BTW does partha's version have the Cairo, Pygobject and pygtk?

Some people recommend for Gimp 2.6.11 Python 2.6.6
http://www.python.org/download/releases/2.6.6/
(not 2.6)

Rod, Your 2.6(32-bit) worked as far as letting me install those 3 (cairo, pygobject and pygtk. Everything went in beautifully.
The down side is: none of the plug-ins work. Is that strange or what? Going for Chinese food now so I will try some more thingys later.

Saul, I will bypass the Nacho's today.....

Molly - I think when you read:
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/inst ... ndows.html
may try to Python 2.6.6 ?
32 bit http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.6.6/python-2.6.6.msi

Thank you MareroQ. I will try that when I come back. I will post back here if I have success. Keep your toes crossed.

Sorry guys, neither 2.2 or 2.6.6 work. This is sure frustrating.

glad its not just me

if it is still in your outbox, that means it hasn't been opened yet on the other end.

Molly did you install the Python i linked you to in C or program files(86x)?

Remember our variable value is set for C:\Python26 still
Which is why it keeps trying to run the Python 64 bit version installed there.
So if you installed in Program Files(86x) you need to change that variable value to reflect it.

I installed it in C: not program files (x86)
