Hi Noli,

As far as I know, most plugins aren't set up to allow scripting of
their functions etc. We are currently working on incorporating all of
the fTools (Vector/Tools menu) into the core C++ api, so that users
and developers will have access to these functions via Python, but at
the moment only a few functions are implemented. Generally, it depends
on how the plugin authors have set up their modules, but more than
likely this is not possible for most plugins.

Cheers,

Carson
