Sorry for "launcher panel".I saw wrong. When I right-click to application icon in application menu, write "add this launcher to panel" but stay wrong on my mind .I suppose "launcher panel" of panel's name.

So are you trying to create a search box in the panel using python? If so, what are you finding difficult? Have you, for instance, written a Python programme that just puts some text (or an image or something) on the panel? It'd be best to start from the basics, and then add your search boxes

Apologies if I've misunderstood your question, however

So you want a text box applet that comunicates with your Python script?

You really need to get your terminology straight. There's no such thing as a "launcher panel". There's a panel (the entire bar that contains things) and applets (the things that the panel contains). Launcher buttons are applets. The taskbar is an applet. The applications menu is an applet.

And launcher buttons (see post #4) have nothing to do with text boxes.
