Thanks for the answers and responses. I'm looking forward to test the
project management functionality.

Personally i think you guys should consider including the mentioned
plug-in system with 1.0 release (after everything else on the TODO list
is done) so it is a basic part of Geany. Also consider D-Bus as a
plug-ins interface as this allows more languages to be used to write
plug-ins with (any language that D-Bus got bindings for).

As far for the magic about Python: because it's really simple to code
with as well being mature.
