PyGimp on Windows XP

[Ryan Krauss-2]

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.  

Preparation:

My computer has Python 2.5 and PyGTK.

Install:

I ran the installer I downloaded from here:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/gimp-win/gimp-2.6.7-i686-setup.exe

with PyGTK installed, if gives me the option to install the Python extension (I did this).

I don't get any error messages, but it doesn't seem like PyGIMP is really working.  Unlike in Ubuntu, I don't have any Python menu items under Filters, I don't see any place to launch a Python console, and it doesn't recognize any of the scripts I have in $HOME\\.gimp-2.6\\plug-ins

Are there other installation steps I am missing?  How would I know if PyGIMP was really working under windows?

Thanks,

Ryan

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.  And the confirmation that it is working is a Python-Fu menu item with an option to launch a console under Filters.
