Installing pgimp package in Ubuntu Studio 20.10 - rgbellotti - 04-29-2021

I noticed that Gimp does not have python-fu available (only script-fu), and from what I can tell this is because Ubuntu Studio 20.10 doesn't come with python 2.7 preinstalled.  So I installed python 2.7 and the necessary 'numpy' and 'typing' packages with pip, but am still getting an error when I try to install 'pip3 install pgimp' or even 'pip install pgimp'

Here is the terminal error message involved:

pip3 install pgimp

Even though I already have numpy and typing installed, it still gives the same error message.  Do I need to configure python2.7 after the initial install before it gets recognized properly?  Gimp on my other machine (Ubuntu plain 20.04) has python-fu working already, yet it only has python3 installed and not python2.  So I'm a bit confused as to what the actual conflict is, or what the requirements are for python-fu.


well for the time being, I installed the latest version of GIMP as of now (v2.10.24) with flatpak and python-fu is available now and working. *shrug* Not the ideal fix but it's an option
