Martin i just pushed the code, only tested using geanypy in my repo which should be the latest, i think it pulls from git automatically and repackages it for me.

i normally checkout the projects and symlink them into the geanypy folder, if you get stuck ping me on irc g+ or email with the error and I will do my best to help.

also you need to add some project folders in the prefs, any sub folders to that path are considered a project and will create a geany.history file within the project and geany.project file.

In the sense that being a plugin causes the restrictions you list below, yes.

But its only because the plugin interface does not contemplate the
situation of one plugin being a "proxy" for several others.

Matthew did a great job making Geanypy within the restrictions of the
existing API.

It would be better that the API be modified like this, so that
something like Geanypy could act as a proxy for other plugins (which
appear as "first class" plugins) and so a plugin can provide bindings
of the API in another language.

This allows more languages to be added easily by anyone rather than
requiring changes to core for each language someone wants to use for
plugins.  (this might even solve the VAPI argument, just make it a
plugin, or more than one plugin if no agreement is reached :)
