as far as I know it is not possible, because python bindings are missing. But I would be happy to be wrong

I am happy to prove myself wrong. This should give you green statusbar button which opens "Hello World" dialog.

Code:
import gtk
import hildondesktop
class statusbar_applet(hildondesktop.StatusbarItem):
def __init__(self):
hildondesktop.StatusbarItem.__init__(self)
button = gtk.Button()
button.set_image(gtk.image_new_from_stock(gtk.STOCK_YES, gtk.ICON_SIZE_MENU))
button.set_name("hildon-navigator-button-one")
button.set_size_request(80,80)
button.connect("clicked",self.button_clicked_event)
self.add(button)
self.show_all()
def button_clicked_event(self,widget,data=None):
mdlg = gtk.MessageDialog(None,0,gtk.MESSAGE_INFO,gtk.BUTTONS_OK,"Hello World!")
mdlg.run()
mdlg.destroy()
def hd_plugin_get_objects():
plugin = statusbar_applet()
return [plugin]

THANKYOU!!!
Two other little things I had to do.
1. I named the unaltered code pystatbar.py and put it in /usr/lib/hildon-desktop/ though there is a statusbar directory, it works from desktop. I also did "chmod +x" which may or may not have been necessary. I didn't have the #!/usr/bin/python... header
2. I also needed the desktop file:
In /usr/share/applications/hildon-status-bar/ I created the file pysb.desktop:
(earlier version had a typo, corrected in a later post)
I could add a category, Icon, etc, but I let it default.
But it works!!! I don't know what I missed since I tried calling it statusbar item, but if everything isn't perfect it fails without error messages and I probably had something else wrong.
THANKS!

Wow, this is pretty cool. Mikkov: Can you give a link to where you found that example code? Is there any more documentation, such as opening a menu?
[edit]Hmmm... I spoke too soon... I can't get this working at all... I enable the Python SBar item, but the Display applet shows up instead! Any ideas?

I wrote that code myself, partially converting from C in http://maemo.org/maemo_release_docum..._maemo_4.1.pdf
From there on it is pretty much normal python and gtk, see http://www.pygtk.org
You need to have python2.5-hildondesktop and hildon-desktop-python-loader installed before python statusbar plugins work

Alright, thanks for the links! I have both python2.5-hildondesktop and hildon-desktop-python-loader installed, but like I said, when I enable the python statusbar item I made (following tz1's instructions), I just get the Display item. If I have the display item enabled, then nothing new shows up...
Unfortunately, like tz1 said, there are NO error messages when something fails...

Notice: There was an error in the example code. Now it should be correct and icon has transparent background

I just deleted all the files I had created, and redid all of them, following the instructions again, and still no luck. This time, the display icon doesn't even show up instead...
I suppose it's worth noting that I'm running diablo (latest update), and I have python version 2.5.2-1osso3 with python-launcher installed.

Is it even possible to create a python statusbar applet, and if so, is there an example source/desktop file?
