I too am having some fun with the python plugin, I got past the ./configure --with-includes =I/usr/include/python2.2 (to get the Python.h) Then I got an error that the plugin_python.h file could not be found --then I got the plugin files from CVS (was using 1.3.0) and now I get the error : CFCanUseWand: FLAG_USE_RANGE undeclared when doing make of the plugin so it bombs out on me. Apparently you can find out what plugins are installed by using dm command: pluglist (thanks to Joris B for this). Looks to me like you don't have any if it doesn't list any. Anyway still banging away on this...anyone know if this plugin is working?
