Broken example code in GIMP Python Console docs

Applications
1

I tried the Python Console commands shown in the ancient 2.6 screenshot on 10.6. The “Python-Fu” Submenu in GIMP git master.

For the shown command
>>> print("Version: %s" % str(Gimp.version))
I get the output
Version: gi.FunctionInfo(version, bound=None)
and not the GIMP version number as shown in the screenshot.

After the commands
>>> import pdb
>>> image = pdb.gimp_image_new(width, height, type)
I get a Traceback saying
AttributeError: module 'pdb' has no attribute 'gimp_image_new'

What are the correct commands to use nowadays, in order to fix the outdated documentation? Thanks in advance.

It should be Gimp.version() and Gimp.Image.new(width, height, type)

Thanks for the quick answer! I’ve put up a patch in Update Python Console screenshots and procedure names (!299) · Merge requests · GNOME / gimp-help · GitLab if someone feels like reviewing if it’s correct.
