I wrote some years ago a plugin using C++. The code is available at
http://svn.savannah.gnu.org/viewvc/gchemutils/trunk/gchemutils/gnumeric/

I suppose it should work mostly the same with the D language.

Python is quite a different issue, since a Python plugin needs a
specific loader.

Hope this helps,
