Re: [Gimp-user] No gimp-python in Debian (Testing)
Scratch my previous replies. There are two issues here. The first is to make python2.7 and friends, including gimp-python, available in a system running testing. This could perhaps be done by running a mixed stable/testing system. I've done this is the past without major issues, but you'll need to set things like the default release (APT::Default-Release "testing";) and other stuff. Something like this is discussed here. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/60555/debian-is-it-possible-safe-to-install-packages-from-an-older-version-of-the-rep The second issue is what happens when gimp-python *has* to be updated to python3 some time in the future? Then all the python2.7 plugins will break. Now the GIMP people do not supply the plugins and the best that they could do is to publicise the change well in advance. Perhaps there could be two gimp-pythons? There will still be plugins that don't get updated, of course. There's nothing that the GIMP people can do about that.

Re: [Gimp-user] No gimp-python in Debian (Testing)
What distro are you using? python2.7 and the rest are available on Debian 10. I think it is an issue for the distro creators to address as all the necessary packages exist in vanilla Debian.

Re: [Gimp-user] No gimp-python in Debian (Testing)
>Do you have python installed? On my Ubuntu system the 'python' package is 2.7. I had not. The second dpkg call, where I attempted to install both gimp-python and python-gtk2 from my previous debian install (in another partition), apparently left a record of its attempt, for when I called up synaptic to see if python was installed, python and six or eight other python-related packages were already selected for install to correct 'broken' packages. Once I let it install them, I called the dpkg call again, and was successful. Note that my success was only because I had my earlier debian install available to raid, and that the apt package cache had not been cleaned out and the two packages were right there. Someone who had newly come to debian testing or sid, or had erased his previous install when installing, or who had been a good housekeeper and cleaned out his cached packages, would not have had the option that was ultimately successful for me. I assume gimp-python will have to be updated to use python3 at some point, or more and more people will find that GIMP no longer will be able to run python plugins. (I don't know if all, some or few of the plugins will have to be updated as well - if the Python API has changed enough to be a problem for legacy Python apps/plugins, or not...) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] No gimp-python in Debian (Testing)
Do you have python installed? On my Ubuntu system the 'python' package is 2.7. All python 3 packages are called python3-something.

[Gimp-user] No gimp-python in Debian (Testing)
At some point after I first installed Debian (last year), the gimp-python package disappeared from Debian Testing. I already had it, so never noticed... I just did a clean install of Debian Testing LXQt, installed GIMP, moved over my Resynthesizer-based plugins, and tried to use Heal Selection. It complained about Python, and I remembered from the previous install that for some reason, gimp-python was not automatically pulled in on Debian, and I had had to install it separately before Heal Selection would work. So, now I opened up Synaptic and searched for "gimp" and then looked down the list for anything Python-related, (not yet remembering the exact name), and didn't find anything that sounded right. I did a google search to find the exact name, and returned to Synaptic, and IT WAS NOT THERE. I now vaguely remembered reading something about Debian and Python... Googling it now, I found: https://bdmpublications.com/debian-ubuntu-remove-python-2-packages/ "Debian and Ubuntu to remove Python 2 packages Python 2 is set to reach its end of life on January 1st 2020, a mere four months away now. As such, Debian and ultimately Ubuntu will be looking to drop the current Python 2 packages in the next release cycle. Debian 10 ‘Buster’ has recently been released, and will of course still be supporting Python 2 within its build. However, with an eye to Debian 11, codenamed ‘Bullseye’, the team are going to be dropping the legacy Python 2 code and instead focus on adopting Python 3 in the relevant core packages. " Debian Stable still has it (2.10.8-2), and I can see it depends on Python 2.7: "dep: python interactive high-level object-oriented language (Python2 version) dep: python-gtk2 (>= 2.8.0) Python bindings for the GTK+ widget set dep: python2.7 Interactive high-level object-oriented language (version 2.7) " What if anything is being done to help people who use python plug-ins, and thus need gimp-python? Should I assume that even if gimp moves to Python 3.x, that the various python plug-ins would have to be updated/re-written to use Python 3.x? For now, would an app-image contain within itself the gimp-python code that would allow Heal Selection and other python plugins to function? ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
