更改Gimp python解释器路径

Question

I am developing a custom GIMP plugin on Mac OS X. For programming reasons, I need to use some python modules that I have installed in system's default python environment (such as OpenCV, MoviePy, and some others), but I am unable to import them on the Python-Fu console because it uses the GIMP's app built-in python environment. My question is. Is there a way to tell GIMP to use another python interpreter? I've searched on GIMP preferences but I haven't found anything such as Python-Fu path or something similar.

GIMP's Python interpreter is found here on my system: /Applications/GIMP.app/Contents/MacOS/python

The interpreter that I want GIMP to use is found here on my system: /usr/bin/python

Thanks!

See /usr/lib/gimp/2.0/interpreters/pygimp.interp (or wherever this is in your Gimp installation directory). You can tweak this to use another Python instance (but it still has to be 2.7.x). On the other hand Gimp's own Python interpreter is the standard cpython, you can use it directly in the command line and can likely tweak pip to install modules for it (or add the modules installed on the other instance to it).
