I only discovered Krita very recently so this (4.0.1) is the first version I've tried. I'm using KDE Neon.

I'm trying to create a python plugin to use in Krita, and following the instructions from the documentation. However they refer to a "Python Plugin Manager" tab in Krita's settings, which doesn't exist for me. I found out that in order to use python with krita I actually need the python3-dev package and not just python3, so I've just installed that. However no plugin manager appears yet.

Running krita from a terminal, I noticed the following output which seems to be relevant:

Code: Select all

Loading Python plugin
"/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5m.so.1.0" true
Creating s_pythonLibrary /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libpython3.5m.so
Python::setPath. Script paths: ("/home/daphne/.local/share/krita/", "/usr/share/krita/", "/home/daphne/.local/share/krita/pykrita/", "/usr/share/krita/pykrita/", "/usr/share/pykrita/") false
pythonLibsPath (krita-python-libs) ""
Cannot find krita-python-libs
"Cannot set Python paths"

I was unable to find any report about this error. Is this a bug, or am I missing another package or setting?

If this is with Neon provided packages, it must be a packaging error. Please report a bug to the Neon people.

Thanks, I've just done so ( https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=393938 ).

Thanks!
