gimp-console 0.2.0

A GTK Python Console for the GIMP python environment

First ideas on modify the GIMP Python interpreter to be more interactive.

As for now, code from two sources has been grabbed:

• GIMP's Python Console under GPLv3
• SvenFestersen's GtkPyInterpreter under GPLv3

Update (28/03/21):

• Huge refactor in original source codes.

• A namespace python package structure has been implemented, adapted to GIMPs needs.

• Logic from pure GTK3 is being split from GIMPs logic, then "apps" should have an isolated layer which runs outside GIMP.

• Running 4 different Python Console approaches only changing a flag, to explore them:

  • console.ConsoleDialog.run: The current GIMP python console with the GIMP logic.
  • pyconsole.run: Only the widget of the python console of the current GIMP pyhthon console.
  • gtkpyinterpreter.run: SvenFestersen's Python Console. Has a problem with a constant None: None output.
  • gtkmatplotlibshell.run: SvenFestersen's Python Console with matplotlib integration!

• The main problem integrating IPython is that the current approach (by importing it and call IPython.embed()) yields to a problem with the parsing of the inputs. For example:
