 I need to make an external Python administration script, wich

 the ui?
 I need something like that:
 
   import gimp_noui as gimp
   gimp.startgimp()#start the gimp in background process
   pdb.file_load(whatever...)
   #do something here...
   pdb.file_save(whatever...)
   gimp.stopgimp()
 Thanks.

what os will you be using this on?

I'm developping it for and under a Debian-testing system (on amd k7), 
and plan to use it possibly also on an Ubuntu Linux.

I won't need windows support.

 Just write a pygimp script normally, and call it via gimp's batch mode.

 I would prefer another solution, since I have some processing to do in 
 the external script and possibly a bunch of data to transfer back and 
 forth, so it would make the script quite complex to have to use the 
 batch interpreter.

Why would it?

 By the way, I thought the batch mode only understood scheme, so it would 
 make the whole thing even more complicated.

One line of scheme to call your python script won't increase the
complexity appreciably.

 I hope there is a simpler solution possible.

Well, it's kind of hacky yes, but it's not *complex*.

If you want something better, why don't you contribute it?
