Allow loading python scripts at runtime. Things can go wrong if a script starts its own mainloop, or blocks on something. For now, a script can check for a positive return value from 'gobject.main_depth()' to determine that it's being loaded at runtime, and not start its own mainloop.

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
