Reason is that python support in Windows version of Gimp is disabled
by default.
Is possible enable it, for that is needed Unistall gimp, install
Python libraries (not only Python ) and then reinstall Gimp with the
"custom" option, and in the following dialog check the "python"
checkbox.
But do not worry to make it easier i grouped all that is needed
including Python in a single pack, with a almost idiot proof " how to
install"
Pack is here

i done for Gimp 2.4 but i believe is still updated,anyway for me
still works with last gimp 2.6.1
again how to is included, you can't miss that text file is very
clearly labeled
even more information on installing/running python on gimp windows
are here

@fotocomix - I found the above reference a couple of days ago (I think
by googling [python gimp plugin]. Just thought I'd comment on the need
for reboots you stressed in your "IDIOTS NEVER READ THIS". Not sure if
anything has changed in GIMP between 2.4 and 2.6.1. I already had
Python25 and pygtk-2.12.1-2 but not the other two requirements.
<Image>Filters>Python-Fu>Console was NOT showing up.
I think all three of the packages have later versions since you created
the ZIP so I got them. With Gimp closed I installed the two I was
missing (pycairo-1.4.12-1, pygobject-2.14.1-1) and restarted GIMP.
Python-Fu showed up this time :-)
No reboots were necessary.
