I have enabled geany terminal vte for python programming

     edit>preference>terminal>shell=/usr/bin/python

Now I am clearing my vte terminal using

 Send selection to terminal

  {

   import os

   os. system('clear')



   }

I want to create a simple plugin to clear my terminal vte screen from menu. I have used the helloworld program in geany to create this sample plugin

import gtk

import geany



class ClearGeany(geany.Plugin):



    __plugin_name__ = "Clear Geany VTE"

    __plugin_version__ = "1.0"

    __plugin_description__ = "clear geany vte"

    __plugin_author__ = "John Doe"



    def __init__(self):

        self.menu_item = gtk.MenuItem("Clear")

        self.menu_item.show()

        geany.main_widgets.editor_menu.append(self.menu_item)

        self.menu_item.connect("activate", self.on_clear_item_clicked)



    def cleanup(self):

        self.menu_item.destroy()



    def on_clear_item_clicked(widget, data):

        #geany.dialogs.show_msgbox("Hello World") 

        import os    

        os.system('clear')

This doesn't work because its not executing the python code inside the vte terminal. I tried the documentation but its not of much help.
