        # Python wrapper for gimp_config_build_writable_path()

Creates a search path as it is used in the gimprc file. The path returned by Gimp.config_build_writable_path is just the writable parts of the search path constructed by Gimp.config_build_data_path.

Note that you cannot use this path directly with Gimp.path_parse. As it is in the gimprc notation, you first need to expand and recode it using Gimp.ConfigPath.expand.
