PopOver is a widget from the elementary Granite library. I don't think it
has been ported to Python yet. You could check out if the Granite lib can
be found in the python gir. Otherwise i wouldn't know how to implement it
in Python.

Okay. What is then popover thing? You have more info about it maybe? Can I
do that with  python?
Can I otherwise work on the applet as a a stand alone application and worry
about integrating it with the panel  later?

Cheers

Benjamin
