Not that I am 100% opposed to learning the nuts and bolts of Python, but when the first chapter doesn't start "getting gimp to work with your distro"... I tend to find other priorities more pressing.
Perhaps I'm the oddball, but I always felt like one of the big plusses to installing Linux, was the bundled inclusion of gimp. If as you say the newer distros are including only Python3, and Python3 doesn't support gimp at all......this might be like the end of an era.
Actually the next version of Gimp (Gimp 3.0) will support Python 3. But in a way that makes current Python scripts obsolete
