In the German Gimp Forums I've had a little discussion with Michael Schumacher and houz (don't know real name for now)

Die einzige Hürde dafür ist noch die Verfügbarkeit für Microsoft Windows - dort ist der typische Nutzer nicht in der Lage, Python und drei Module zu installieren - aber das wird sich spätestens mit den 2.8-Installerpaketen geben." On the longterm, Scheme isn't going to stay, and all scripts in GIMP will be written in Python. The only hurdle against it is, the availability for GIMP on MS-Windows - the typical (dumbnut user) can't install Python and three modules for using GIMP - but this thing will be history - ultimately with the installer packages within 2.8... I would be glad when Aliens were behind it, it seems more serious. Schumaml; was one of the first persons to push a python integration into GIMP on Windows... And he has some sort of credibility when saying... Scheme isn't to survive here.... and later houz wrote: "It is a thing of parting ressources, Scheme would be wasting them, we (GIMP Dev-Team) cannot support every backend for scripting. So, your turn GIMP-Dev Community (Hopefully I am soon good enough to get my code accepted within git) _______________________________________________ Gimp-developer mailing list Gimp-developer@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
