Code:

pdb.gimp_edit_copy(tdrawable)
img_HL_L = pdb.gimp_edit_paste(tdrawable, 1)
pdb.gimp_floating_sel_to_layer(img_HL_L)
pdb.gimp_item_set_name(img_HL_L, 'HighLights_Low')

Much faster & simpler to directly copy the layer with gimp_layer_copy() or even the copy() method of the layer.

Ofnuts thanks for the tip. This was my very first Gimp Python project and I found the documentation of interface occasionally  quite terse which affected to the final outcome.  It is not optimal but it does what it is intended to do.
