Python-Fu - pdb.query ; how to filter to readable output

[DebianFanatic]

UPDATE:

I thought to try the more complete string:

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set",str(dir(pdb)))

and that returned five hits. The tutorial gave me three of them, so I just did a brute-force search, going through the alphabet::

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set_a",str(dir(pdb)))

resulted in nothing.

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set_b",str(dir(pdb)))

gave me a hit. So I moved on to the next charavter, starting the alphabet over again at "a":

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set_ba",str(dir(pdb)))

Getting another successful hit, I guessed this was going to be "background", so I tried

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set_back",str(dir(pdb)))

worked, and

re.findall("gimp_image_grid_set_background",str(dir(pdb)))

worked. Continuing like this, I found the two missing attributes/properties are:

gimp_image_grid_set_background_color()

and

gimp_image_grid_set_foreground_color()

With further experimenting (googling didn't reveal the syntax), I found I can set the color with either:

pdb.gimp_image_grid_set_foreground_color(theImage, "red")

or

pdb.gimp_image_grid_set_foreground_color(theImage, "#FF0000")

But brute-force searching is a dirty hack; I need to know how to properly find the attributes/properties of an abject, and how to use them.

Thanks!
