Therte is aproblem in migrating - because converting scripts to Python3 nto that much of a hasle, but current PyGIMP uses PyGTK - and _that_ is a problem - because we should them move the Python itnerface to gobject introspection - and it would imply to move the GIMP parts to use gobjetc introspection as possible as well. The problem is that GIMP's C source does not export aythign as gobject introspection. But anyway - as a long time pythonista, I can say it is an error on the Ubuntu team not to include Python2 in the main distribution (even if manually installable) - like a BIG ERROR - and GIMP scripts will be a lesser problem. Anyway, we should draw a "python3 plug-ins " architecture on GIMP - I've sent a couple of emails trying to gather ideas for that in the past., It is just time to take one more look and try again. I will try to send news on that over the next few days. It is probably possible to build the interface with gobject introspection and talk to the PDB using CTYPES - which will allow to reqrite all of PyGIMP in pure Python, as we should have done a while ago.
