Code:

def insert_layer(image: Gimp.Image, layer: Gimp.Layer, parent: Gimp.Layer, position: int = 0) -> bool:    
    procedure = Gimp.get_pdb().lookup_procedure('gimp-image-insert-layer')
    config = procedure.create_config()
    config.set_property('image', image)
    config.set_property('layer', layer)
    config.set_property('parent', parent)
    config.set_property('position', position)
    result = procedure.run(config)
    success = result.index(0)
    return success

And Is_group

Code:

def is_group_item (item: Gimp.Item):
    procedure = Gimp.get_pdb().lookup_procedure('gimp-item-is-group');
    config = procedure.create_config();
    config.set_property('item', item);
    result = procedure.run(config);
    success = result.index(0);
    group = result.index(1)
    return group

So I'm not sure what your suggesting I do differently.

Also how do I now get a name of the layer?  layer.name results in an error that attribute is not found.

Thanks.

So, you are doing the very hard way, try this instead:

Code:

image.insert_layer(layer,parent,position) # from https://developer.gimp.org/api/3.0/libgimp/method.Image.insert_layer.html
isGroup=iterm.isGroup(). # from https://developer.gimp.org/api/3.0/libgimp/method.Item.is_group.html
# But can also be done with instanceof (item,Gimp.GroupLayer)

Things are much simpler than you think:

Yes I already used instanceof to track down my earlier error.

I also moved from using Kate to using an actual IDE and those all come up as suggestions when working with the objects, which is nice.

And even easier yet after I switched from executing the python in a bash script and instead launch the python script from the command line as I get better debug information.

However is there an easier way to launch my script then using the following:

 flatpak run --user org.gimp.GIMP -i --batch-interpreter=python-fu-eval -b 'import sys; sys.path=["."]+sys.path;import pytest;pytest.run("./pytest.py")'

Whats the easiest command to start gimp and execute script using the commandline.

Thanks.
