Assuming I'm not confused and the "status bar" is the same as the "right side of the menu bar", http://menu.jeweledplatypus.org/ has a long list of examples that might be useful ideas. One that came to mind as "easy" is a pop- or imap-mailbox "how much new mail" checker - you could just use the native imaplib to do the work, *that* part would only be a dozen lines of code, but it would need "periodic update", "allow user configuration", and ideally "store password in keychain", all of which are mac-specific in interesting ways. A "weather bug" is another one; the general "check this web page for changes" (based on an xpath string or even a regexp scan) would be a useful base, you could build a "current nagios status (red/yellow/green)" scraper out of that... even a stock-watcher, though it's about 5 years too late for that :-) _______________________________________________ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
