I have helped quite a few people writing their first python scripts, and 
once they know where to look/what to check, the problem vanishes...One 
of my scripts even abuses the registration procedure (it runs but 
doesn't register, so runs each time Gimp is started). So the whole thing 
works quite well and all problems I have seen have been with the user's 
system (or operating procedures).

I would even say it works too well... I have Python plugins that use a 
configuration file, and this configuration file will change things in 
the registration, but Gimp of course doesn't check the timestamp of the 
configuration file. It would be nice if the registration data could 
include a file to check the next time around...
