The plugin stuff in the KService API is all C++ oriented. and although 
it is possible to implement a plugin system in a Python application 
which works on a C++ level, it is a huge pain involving defining your 
own C++ interface/class for your plugins and doing C++/Python 
integration on both sides.

If I were you I would just make my own Python based plugin system. 
Dynamic code loading in Python is fairly straight forward and about a 
million times easier to debug. The import hooks in Python in the last 
few versions also make it easier too.

cheers,
