## Detailed Description

ScriptEngine plasma/scripting/scriptengine.h <Plasma/Scripting/ScriptEngine>

The base class for scripting interfaces to be used in loading plasmoids of a given language.

All ScriptEngines should export as consistent an interface as possible so that the learning curve is limited. In particular, the following API should be made available in the script environment:

TODO: define the actual scripting APIas ... PlasmaApplet - the applet of this plasmoid LoadUserInterface(String uiFile) - loads and returns a given UI file LoadImage - loads an image resource out of the plasmoid's package PlasmaSvg - creates and returns an Svg file

## Methods
| __init__ (self, QObject parent=0)
bool | init (self)
QString | mainScript (self)
Plasma.Package | package (self)
