Why?

It's not easy to build_nukescripts complex nukescripts or nuke gizmo using the Nuke API.

You need to understand Nuke and need to understand the Nuke Python API.

import nuke
read = nuke.createNode('Read')
read.knob('file').setValue('c:/test.exr')
colorspace = nuke.createNode('OCIOColorSpace')
read = nuke.createNode('Write')
read.knob('file').setValue('c:/test.jpg')
nuke.scriptSave('c:/my_nukescripts.nk')

You just need to understand Nuke and know a little bit of Python.
