[Gimp-developer] Supporting custom file formats

[Michael Iline <michael iline yahoo com>]

Good day GIMP developers.
I would like to develop a tool that would help me generate custom animation files for a game I'm working on. 
I've realized that GIMP already has a lot of the functionality I need so it may be a good option for me to 
write a new file export plug-in.
Is there a way to do this in Python, or will I have to use the C API? Also, what are some good docs on the 
subject?
Thanks in advanceMichael
