Yes, we used to have a scripting module... It exposed the same scripting api in a \
number of languages, Python, Ruby, JavaScript -- but the problem was, nobody was \
using it and it was a huge task to maintain. So in 2.4 it was still compiled but not \
installed, in 2.5 it's gone.

It sort of ties in to the recording discussion that's ongoing on the list: we need to \
make it easy for ourselves to make every action in Krita recordable. Once that's \
done, making those actions scriptable should be pretty much automatic...
