plasma can run superkaramba widgets. I'm entirely unfamiliar with the 
mechanism, but I'm sure there's an example around somewhere.

porting might be a good idea. I don't know the pros and cons of running 
superkaramba stuff, but I imagine plasmoids get slightly better treatment ;)
there are no python bindings yet. you can use c++ or javascript, or write 
python bindings, or sit around and wait for someone else to write them ;)

that web page is terribly out of date. there's some plasma information on 
techbase.kde.org - but not enough. the real documentation effort is probably 
going to start next week or something :)
