I use pygimp and a Wacom tablet to create a sort of digital white board when I teach. I use my pygimp code to correctly number each slide as I lecture so that the slides are useful to the students for review when I am done. Here is an example if you are curious:I am using Python 2.7 for scipy, numpy, and other packages installed using homebrew and pip. I am having a hard time getting GIMP installed in OS X 10.8 that supports both Python 2.7 and pressure sensitivity. I have tried two approaches. I downloaded a binary from here:Download GIMP 2.8 on the gimp.org/downloads page. It runs natively on OS X (i.e. not using X11) and it works perfectly with pressure sensitivity on my Wacom tablet. The only problem is that it seems to ship with Python 2.6, which is a bit dated and not compatible with my other Python packages.
I also tried to build and install from source. I have tried this two ways. The first was through homebrew. I am able to compile correctly and it uses Python 2.7, but for reasons I don't understand, it seems to build an X11 version. Again for reasons I don't understand, pressure sensitivity does not work when I build this way. The pen and tablet under the extended input configuration are greyed out. They are set correctly, but the settings don't seem to be respected.I have also tried to just use homebrew to install the dependencies and then build GIMP myself in other directory. This keeps getting hung up on trying to build a test GTK+ file that fails because it can't find gtk.h. gtk.h is in a homebrew Cellar folder and I don't seem to be able to point the configure script to it correctly.So, can someone point me to the best solution. If a binary of GIMP 2.8 linked to Python 2.7 could easily be made available, that would be great. If someone can help me build a version of GIMP 2.8 that runs natively using the Python from homebrew, that would also work. I don't even mind setting up my own thing and compiling outside of homebrew, but I would prefer to avoid installing all the dependencies myself if possible. I would prefer to have GIMP run natively rather than through X11, but if Python 2.7 and pressure sensitivity both worked, I would be OK with that.Thanks,Ryan
