a dialect of the Lisp-like language called Scheme). It is also possible to write GIMP scripts in Python or Perl. These languages are more flexible and powerful than Script-Fu; their disadvantage is that Scripting ‘Python-fu’ is now the standard external scripting interface for GIMP 2. This means that you can now use GIMP functions in Python scripts, or conversely use Python to write GIMP plug-ins. Python is relatively beginner, especially in comparison to the Lisp-like Scheme language used for Script-Fu in GIMP 1. The Python bindings are augmented by a set of classes for common operations, so you are not forced to search

areas where Gimp is a lot more powerful than Photoshop. Gimp supports Script-Fu, Perl-Fu, Tcl-Fu and Python-Fu — no less than four types of “actions” languages. Script-Fu is the current default script language
