Is anyone actively working on this still or what has been done so far, i am very keen to see this because although i dont know c very well and how to embed python into another app, i do know python very well and i am itching to write a load of plugins :)
currently i have a sftp file syncing app and php debug app but they are both currently external to geany but would benefit greatly from integration directly with the editor, to improve my workflow.

I don't think anyone's working on this. The stumbling block is allowing C plugins to host 'sub' plugins. That would probably need to be done first.

If you don't already know Lua, perhaps it would be worth learning it. There is a Geany plugin that allows Geany to be scripted with Lua, and lots of other things also use Lua as their embedded scripting language (as it's smaller, faster, and more easily embeddable than Python).
It's very easy for me to give this advice, but I will be the last one to criticize you if you don't learn Lua, because I am also a Python user, and I have been telling myself that I should learn Lua for several years now. ;)
