So, I found this
http://www.gimpusers.com/tutorials/install-python-for-gimp-2-6-windows.html
and think I am going to get things working. It turns out that even though
the GIMP installer will let me intall Python as long as PyGTK is installed,
it also needs PyCairo and PyGObject to actually work.
I am trying to get PyGimp installed and working on Windows XP. It seems
like this should be easier than it used to be. A quick google lead to
several long install procedures. I have been using PyGimp in Ubuntu and am
quite happy with it, but I know need to use it in windows.
