Same here, but I just wanted to use Kuler palettes.  Adobe claims the
.ase specs are in the PS SDK, but if they are I never found them.

That's about as far down the rabbit hole as I got - I didn't feel like
reverse-engineering the PS palette format.

Back to your main question: unless I'm out of touch, I believe all of
the file loader plugins need to be written in C.  I could well be
wrong though.  It's been quite some time since I touched anything
having to do with GIMP besides the occasional plug-in in Python.
