Hi there, I myself do not know Pyrex. Your plug-in seens pretty sofisticated. We are here discussing however, exactly the python bindings for The GIMP. They need a major overhawl and probably will get a separate module on gnome-cvs tree. I will try your plug-in later. Certainly a handfull of usefull, sofisticated and maintained plug-ins would be a great adition to the Gimp python module itself. If you want o help the GIMP to take care of Gimp-python you are more than welcome. JS -><- On Tuesday 05 October 2004 03:47, Kevin Turner wrote: > I've been working on using Pyrex for a GIMP plug-in.
