Cut from the specified drawables.

If there is a selection in the image, then the area specified by the selection is cut from the specified drawables and placed in an internal GIMP edit buffer. It can subsequently be retrieved using the Gimp.edit_paste command. If there is no selection and only one specified drawable, then the specified drawable will be removed and its contents stored in the internal GIMP edit buffer. This procedure will return False if the selected area lies completely outside the bounds of the current drawables and there is nothing to cut from.
