Yo, obviously. I'm not sure how we could get Geany to recognise Python
plugins in the first place. I think to get something like this working,
we would need to have the whole Python bindings stuff in Geany itself
and then we will run into the dependency problem again. If it is the
only way at all, it would be ok but as long as it can be avoided, it
should, IMO.

But again, I don't know much about this all, just wanted to throw in my
2cents :).
