As [Simon Edwards already noted](http://www.kdedevelopers.org/node/3841), thanks to me and him (mostly him, I have to say) starting to work on Plasma tutorials at the same time, now KDE's Techbase has a [nice set of Python Plasma tutorials](http://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/Plasma). They cover creation of applets and connection to DataEngines (see [the Plasma page on Techbase for more information](http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Plasma)). I plan on starting a tutorial on writing Plasma DataEngines on Thursday, if time permits. 

For anyone wanting to try these out: you need KDE 4.2 (currently RC 1), PyKDE4 and kdebase compiled with Python support (not the case of openSUSE at the moment).
