Extensions with python

[Albert Zuurbier <albert zuurbier gmail com>]

Hello,

I would like to make an extension to Dia with Python (so I can learn 
that language along the way). However, I need a bit more documentation. 
Which I am willing to write, if you give me a chance.

I want to make a new diagram type. From the C code I have a rough idea 
of what I need to do (shouldn't be too difficult). But there are no 
Python examples I can use as a start. Pydiadoc.py gives the classes, 
attributes and methods, but not the parameters of the methods. I tried 
to follow the logic of pydiadoc, to see if I can continue along that 
line to get parameter information, but I don't know how Python can 
provide me more information. So, I turn here to the real experts.

This is the deal: if someone gets me started on creating a new diagram 
type, then I write a tutorial and/or a contribution to the documentation 
of dia.

Regards,
Albert
