Hi, I would like to use PyGimp for my project. Ideally, I would want to write a stand-alone Python program that would manipulate images using gimp libraries. I had few attempts at doing it, but I was always getting errors... [tomek@tlr25 tomek]$ python Python 2.1.1 (#1, Aug 30 2001, 17:36:05) [GCC 2.96 20000731 (Mandrake Linux 8.1 2.96-0.61mdk)] on linux-i386 Type "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information. >>> from gimpfu import * >>> img = gimp.image(640, 480, RGB) GLib-CRITICAL **: file ghash.c: line 138 (g_hash_table_lookup): assertion `hash_table != NULL' failed. LibGimp-ERROR **: could not find handler for message: 5 aborting... Aborted Is it possible to run it stand-alone, that is from a Python program, without executing gimp? If so, how can I do it? I have found a method to do it in perl - by using extension-perl-server, but nothing like this was present for Python. If it was not written so far, would it be difficult to do it? Tomek
