Fails to load on Arch Linux

[frumble]

It doesn’t work for me on Arch Linux with Gimp 2.10.20. After the setup routine and enabling the new path in the plug-in settings, all I can get is this output:

$ gimp

Installed python2-virtualenv, python-virtualenv, python-virtualenvwrapper and python2-pip and python-pip.

You are most likely missing the gimp-python package equivalent, which is needed for Python plugin support but which has been dropped from most distros after Python 2 was end-of-lifed at the start of this year.
It is still available via AUR on Arch Linux, though. Try:

yay -S python2-gimp

If that fails, you can also try my fork of GIMP-ML which has explicit Arch Linux support and tests for it included.

I can confirm installing python2-gimp fixed the same issue for me

[taprobane99]

doesn't appear in menu on Manjaro. can't build python2-gimp from AUR as

could not satisfy dependencies:

• unable to satisfy dependency 'python2-gobject2' required by pygtk
• unable to satisfy dependency 'pygtk' required by python2-gimp

[kritiksoman]

when gimp3 is released all these issues will be fixed.

right now python2 is deprecated https://www.python.org/doc/sunset-python-2/
and it does not exist in archlinux packages
