Comment:
Python plugin support for gimp requires python2 pygtk and in no way can ever be built against python3. Gimp plugins that don't use python, but rather C or scheme or whatever, don't depend on either python2 or python3...

I don't comprehend the rush to use some unpredictable "let's try building gimp with python3 and see if it falls over horribly". Upstream does NOT support doing this on the 2.x branch, but gimp 3.0 will be fully ported to python3 and pygobject, so why not just wait until then?
