I'm working on a Java application that needs to integrate with Ubuntu. Because there is not a nice way of integration with Unity I'm using a Python script that creates a app indicator. But I'm looking to integrate with the sync menu that came in Ubuntu 13.04. Is this possible in Python if so. How would I do that?
For the Sync menu you can use libsync-menu1 to access it and add items. You might also want to grab libsync-menu-dev. For the Python bindings we're relying on GObject Introspection for them, so you can add the library like this:
from gi.repository import SyncMenu
You might also look at the Java project to provide GObject Introspection. I haven't used it myself, but it looks like it's likely to have most of what you'd need completed already:
