The Gimp python doc is here: http://www.gimp.org/docs/python/index.html

It's not completely up-to-date (there is undocumented stuff). Use the 
python-fu console to try things, and use dir() to find the 
not-so-documented methods and attributes, and the PDB browser to 
generate PDB call stubs.

Check the Gimp registry (registry.gimp.org) for python scripts and study 
them.

This is where it's going to hurt :)
