GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 711718
no pygimp.env file
Last modified: 2013-11-30 20:03:46 UTC
Python modules load but are not present after load in the menu. After copying pygimp.env to the new gimp-2.8.8 lib/gimp/2.0/environ folder all works correctly.
How is this related to the "pygtk" package?
Sorry.I had no idea where to post the bug report.
-> GIMP (not correct either, but slightly closer)
This could explain why some user don't get this problem - those who had a previous GIMP 2.8.x install (the installer is meant to be used to install just over them, but some users remove any trace before that, or it may be their first install). Setting to the Installer component to see whether this fiule has been left out, or if there is a different problem. Maybe it is considered obsolete, and we're seeing some other symptom.
My installer always shipped with empty pygimp.env - PYTHONPATH was set in default.env, but only on 64-bit installs (there's even a comment in the install script that writes the variable "//only needed on 64bit GIMP"). Looks like everything worked fine in older versions without setting the environment. I'll fix this, and release an updated installer.
