You can write plugins for Kate using Pâté -- it's a Kate plugin that lets you 
write new plugins in Python using a nice and simple API.
It works fine but isn't so easy to get set up with KDE3 on lots of distros, 
because they bundle outdated versions of things like PyQt and PyKDE.

I've now ported the core of Pâté to Kate on KDE4, and have collaborated with 
Jim Bulbitz, the maintainer of PyKDE, who has now included certain bindings 
in PyKDE4 that will make it much easier to install. This version also has 
nice docs ;-).
