PyGimp on Windows XP

[Alchemie foto\grafiche]

Maybe you miss a step,after installed all the dependency you have to reinstall gimp using the custom option of the installer (or something equivalent if you compile )

I packed together time ago everything needed

The GTK is NOT more needed, may be now more recent version of some libraries ...but anyway that works and can make install easier

PLEASE NOTE

in the instruction included i suggest to restart the computer several times.
That is not always strictly needed BUT that  solve most of cases of mysterious install failures

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

I just did this recently on a new machine.

I installed according to this page:
http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Specifically:
<quote>
# What do I need to do to get Python scripts to work?
# You have to install Python (as of GIMP 2.6.4, both Python 2.5 and
2.6 are supported), PyCairo, PyGObject and PyGTK. If you just intend
to use Python scripts from within GIMP, there is no need to install
GTK+ separately.
If you installed GIMP before installing Python, PyCairo, PyGObject and
PyGTK, run the GIMP installer again to install the GIMP Python
components.

I followed links and installed the corresponding versions in the
correct order, then gimp.  It works.

FYI the versions I used were-

python-2.5.4.msi
pycairo-1.2.6-1.win32-py2.5.exe
pygobject-2.12.3-1.win32-py2.5.exe
pygtk-2.10.6-1.win32-py2.5.exe
