That's pretty much what I was getting at. > I am not sure what the progress on this is. > I can crank out a kicker applet in about 5 min, the hard part > would be loading the pyqt code. is anyone here an embedding > expert that would want to attack at least kicker applets with > me first? Loading PyQt or PyKDE2 code just requires a Python 'import' statement in the script you want to run. You'd want to load Python scripts - not PyQt or PyKDE2 code especially. It's not necessary for the KPart/applet to know anything about PyQt or PyKDE2. You could probably write applets with Tk, PyGTK or wxWindows too - I assume applets have their own event loop, which is the only major consideration I can think of. > if we can do a kicker applet any kpart would be trivial. I already have a working KPart, so the kicker applet won't be a lot of work. I just need to find the time to write it up. As far as I can see, KDE already has all the necessary machinery to implement this except the Python specific stuff. There are some potential problems (concurrency), but probably nothing major.
