[PyKDE] Creating a Panel Applet

[POYEN OP Olivier (DCL)]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create an applet for kicker in python, as the title might have suggest. 
For now, I'm following KDE Tutorials "How to add a panel applet", and I'm stucked by the fact than in the file myPanel.desktop, the line
X-KDE-Library=Libname
has to be some DSO, some dynamic librairie. 
Is there any way i can use a python script instead ? 

I tried to have
myPanel.desktop
Exec=myPanel

where myPanel is a python script in my path.
But what to put in that script ? 

I try to re-produce the factory describe in the tutorial:
----myPanel in PATH-------

#!/usr/bin/env python
import kdeui
import sys
import kdecore

class myPanel(kdeui.KPanelApplet):
	def __init__(self,*args):
		kdeui.KPanelApplet.__init__(self,*args)
		#I knwo that next line probably won't work, but anyway....
		self.setBackgroundColor('blue')
	
def init(*args):
	return myPanel(*args)

----------

Event if I know nothing about C++, I figured that there should be a X-KDE-Library= libname in the desktop file, and that this library should implement an init method.

But how to render that in python ? 

Do I stilll have to do what I want in C++, or can I create a part or the whole panel applet in python.
And how to make it appears on the screen ! 

Any help or pointer or RTFM would be appreciated. 


Thanks in advance,

OPQ
