I just tried

>>> s = window.get_statusbar()
>>> id = s.get_context_id('MyPluginNameStatusbar')
>>> s.push(id, 'lalalalalala')

from the python console and it works just fine.

Obviously it writes to the main statubar.

If you want something like the Line/Col message (that is always visbile,
packed on the right) you need to add a widget to the statusbar (note
that GtkStatusbar is a GtkHBox subclass). Not sure how it would look
though, I never tried.
