Help with plugin

[carmen]

Ofnuts--First: many, many thanks! Following your kind explanations, I have got the plugin installed and running. Maybe tomorrow I can post an example of its use (small fonts in maps / 'single path' fonts...)
Now, you say

Quote:Use the Apply button in the PDB browser to get a Python-acceptable version of the call copied to the Python console.

Well--although I have got Linux installed in an old laptop (unopened, alas! for months) I work chiefly in Win7, and my procedures browser doesn't include any gimp_..., but only gimp-... entries. I can only hope that a substitution of -/_ will cover most cases, it's one of those instance where I miss a cheat sheat!
Just discovered that the Apply button appears when one calls the PDB browser with phyton console opened.

New hitch: editing

Code:

import sys
sys.stderr = open('G:/Tests/Gimp_plug/python-fu-output.txt','a')
sys.stdout=sys.stderr # So that they both go to the same file

to

Code:

import sys
sys.stderr = open(os.path.devnull,'a')

made the plugin unaloadable:

Code:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "G:\GimpResources\plug-ins\group-text2path.py", line 15, in <module>
    sys.stderr = open(os.path.devnull,'a')
NameError: name 'os' is not defined

Is there an alternative, or just comment out the call to traceback for normal use?
Thanks, gracias, merci...
