[wingide-users] Scripting Wing Woes

[Wingware Support]

Note that the templating.py script that ships with Wing *does* add a 
new tool panel type, and that might be a good place to start.  I don't 
recommend trying to write something that complex w/o debugging Wing 
with itself, but it will give you an idea of how it can be done even 
before you download the Wing sources.
