Simon Edwards committed initial support for writing Plasmoids in Python today. (Pythonoids? Pymoids? hm...) There are some build issues to work out, as it relies on CMake files from kdebindings; those probably need to get moved to kdelibs or some-such.

The support is for the full Plasma API, so essentially anything you can do in C++ you can do in Python. There are a couple of example Python plugins in there, and I hope we can get some tutorials up on Techbase demonstrating how to use the Python bindings.

There's also support for Python DataEngines in there. Huzzah...
