Could you give an example of how to plug code with a generated python
file ?

for example, how to attach a command when the "New" menu is triggerred ?

window @MyWindow "My First Window" {
menuBar {
menu "File" {
menuItem @New "New"
}
}

Not in detail, because I haven't written a Python backend yet.

The way I envisage this working is that it would create a class,
MyWindow, for the window. This would have an empty method called
New() or New_pressed() or somesuch. To write code for this method, you
would subclass the MyWindow class with a class that implemented
the method.

(The details of this are no doubt wrong, but that is the general scheme
I have in mind).
