[Goodies-dev] [request] python plugin tutorial

[Alexandre Leray]

Hi,

thanks for your response. I got this error :
"Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 9, in ?
    plugin = xfce4.panel.Plugin()
RuntimeError: could not create xfce4.panel.ExternalPanelPlugin object"

In the documentation the right object is called
external.ExternalPanelPlugin.

Any idea ?

Bye
