For Ruby I translated the C++ extender tutorial example, but the
problem is that it doesn't work in C++.

http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma/UsingExtenders

I think the name of the data engine that the example uses has changed.
Also the instructions on the CMakeLists.txt content weren't present,
and they should be in a tutorial.

I also don't understand if Plasma::PopupApplet always use extenders,
as in the above tutorial, or whether you normally do something else.
It isn't called a 'Plasma Popup Applet tutorial'.

The ruby example code is in kdeexamples/plasma/ruby/applets/extendertutorial

If it worked it would be quite easy to translate to Python.
