I'm not clear what you're trying to do.
You want to write some functionality in Python ?  The set of things
that are currently extensible via a plugin is currently fairly
limited.  We call them services
    - io
    - functions
    - function loaders
 
The goal is to support more things eventually
    - new menu/toolbar commands
    - additional solvers
    ...

There are docs for creating new spreadsheet functions, and lots of
examples.
