It's already done :)

For another reason I already use paramiko (maybe I'll release some
code).
Then it's exactly what I do.

(is it possible to write a Python plugin for web browser ?)

Indeed, I didn't see any option in the docs and the code.

I'm afraid I don't have time to do this now, and I don't want to modify
the 
code before the — official — release. Maybe in one month if the plugin
is 
officially released.

I'll read again the code and see if I find something…
Thanks for your reply !
