If I remember correctly, (it has been a while since I've looked), the 
Python code doesn't create the instance of the Applet itself. Plasma 
does this by itself, but the plasmoid developer has to provide their own 
AppletScript object which acts a proxy. There is no PopupAppletScript in 
plasma libs. So I guess the needed code exists already in libplasma in 
the related scripting classes.

cheers,
