in libplasma2, all of the widget bits (QGraphicsView stuff currently) are moved 
outside. there is literally no widget bits to bind to in libplasma2.

so when it comes to python support in future, there are 2 possibilities i can 
see:

* python bindings for Applet, but all the UI still done in QML and python gets 
used as we currently use C++ for hybrid applets

* we decide that all extensions to QML are done through Plasma plugins 
(services, dataengines, etc.) or QML imports. this would mean there would be 
no need for python and QML to ever come together. we could write QML imports, 
services, dataengines, models, etc. in python perhaps .. but not the plasmoids 
themselves.

the latter has numerous advantages in that it keeps the development story 
simple, gives us a fighting chance at one day having reliable sandboxing and 
doesn't incur the overhead of multiple interpreters running to make the UI 
functional.

no one is suggesting to do that.
