Right, hugopl (in #pyside) pointed out that my widget variable is being decref'd as soon as the window is created, so simply making the widget a member of the class (e.g. adding it as self.widget in __init__() sorts that out and displays the window).
Looks like Python scripting is go!
I'll come up with an example code tomorrow, and also one which uses DBus to notify/start external apps (e.g. Map apps for geo:// payloads).

@flux might be interesting to see this as an option for mbarcode as a plugin or something but i duno if mbarcode does support automatic action.

I would like to whip out my N900, point it towards the boxes and have my web browser be redirected to the said URL without needing other interaction; should I point to another box, the browser should be redirected to that new page, again without any interaction other than moving the camera.

Now, maybe mbarcode isn't the application for this special use case. But it'd be nice if it were. An alternative to use mbarcode would in my mind be a fork that would use a webkit widget for displaying the page. That way it could still provide its own menu for options.

How would I implement this: http://www.ebayinc.com/content/press...20100623006637 or something like this?
I realise this is an iPhone app, so would RedLaser need to do it, or would I be able to? (If I could write the plugin for mBarcode)

sounds like basically they want to save ppl with iPhones from having to type the EAN,.. code into whatever selling app .. since afaik there's no ebay listing app for the n900 this is not really much of an option - u can of course use mbarcode to read the ean , copy and paste it into ebay-webform .. unless you are planning to write an ebay listing app .. ^^

Now that we have working Python plugins, it should be significantly easier to do the weblookups/scraping required to do this. If there's any exsiting Python code out there that we could start with to save writing the whole thing from scratch, that would be good

Regarding opening the web-browser, there are two ways it can open - either in a new window, or in the same window; a settings dialog for the qrcode plugin could allow the user to select which of these happens.
I'll add these to my ToDo list
