So this is like "I create a plugin with C functions in it, register that 
plugin and geany calls that functions"?

I planned to write a wrapper in C that calls functions of a python 
module which handles all the other stuff (I'll try to avoid hacking in C 
as much as I can ;)). And the other way round, that python module should 
be able to call C functions of the wrapper which calls geany functions.

Should a plugin have access to variables, too, or can it do everything 
with functions?
