yes..Ther indeed is no way to get a bianry of GIMP-python for SuSE. 
(ijsut spent more time looking for it than it would take me to write 
the script for you. - but I oppened a request for it on SuSE's 
bugzilla).

You have to download the GIMP source, pass the configure script, with 
the "--prefix" parameter to be the same as in SuSE, and with the 
"--enable-python" option.

The configure script will spill out some errors due to missing 
packages (most likely py-gtk-devel and so on) Install the packages 
and retry until it finishes fine.

Then, just change to the dir plug-ins/pygimp and type make and make 
install (as root)

Then, it is a matter of pickingone the example scripts, and modify it 
to make the steps you described - just look in the PDB-browser (XTNS 
menu)  for the correct functions to call and its parameters. I will 
write it if I am available later.

Given that the page talks about GIMP 1.0 and 1.1 and not anything newer,
you could also have assumed it's a bit dated.

Google doesn't always give the right answer either. Remember that.

It isn't very straightforward to build things piecemeal like that,
though it is *possible* if you know what you're doing. Better to file a
bug with SuSE and get them to package it.

I am surprised that there is not a "gimp-python" in suse, there is
certainly one in the Ubuntu which is the flavour of the month here.

Would highly commend you try building the Gimp from source even if you
don't install it

When you run a ./configure --endless-options it will tell you what is
missing from your system and maybe the suse set up can get them for you

That way you will have a 'complete' Gimp
