You cannot.
If you want to use the 'decompose' plugin to separate the component of an image, or use Python's advanced slicing to extract data for one component from the entire pixel data, you can do that.
On Windows it is slightly more complicated to get Gimp working with Python-Fu. On Linux, it's pretty simple -- just run
./configure with the --enable-python switch (this is enabled by default in recent versions), then rebuild and reinstall.
Then you can write plugins and put them in your gimp plugins directory.

I settled on that route after some wrestling...

(set! shadowMask (car(gimp-layer-create-mask shadowLayer ADD-ALPHA-MASK)))

I hate scheme. I had to do scheme while in school for a class, and I just never, ever liked it. However, I don't think my problem here was with scheme (after, obviously, the initial refresher). It was getting my head around the api. I still don't know how to get a reference to the color channel (green, blue, or red. Didn't matter. Just needed the values).

Do you have a good link to coding python and gimp? I found some stuff, but it seemed old, and I wound up sticking with scheme.
