[Gimp-developer] How to call gimp_export_image() from Python plugin

[Vladimir Rutsky <rutsky vladimir gmail com>]

Hello!

I'm trying to write export plugin for custom image format in Python.

Looking at plugins implemented in C, e.g. gimp/plug-ins/file-bmp/bmp.c, 
and docs (http://developer.gimp.org/api/2.0/libgimp/libgimp-gimpexport.html)
I see, that best and recommended way to convert user image to single 
layer image with proper capabilities is by using gimp_export_image() 
function.

How gimp_export_image() can be called from Python?

I can't find it exported Python modules and looks like it's not 
accessible via PDB either.

If it's not available, can you advice proper alternative? Should I 
report missing gimp_export_image() function in bug tracker?


Thanks in advance,

Vladimir Rutsky
