Thanks a lot Matthias,
i'm trying to go ahead, but with some problems
i should go ahead by little steps .. when i'll be able to do something that make sense i'll be more than happy to start a PR
so for now i'll try to work on a "svn info" button as test case (no input required and no needs to check the notebook name)
what it should do :
1) run a system call that print some text as log
2) parse the log in a dict
3) have the dict printed in a new cell
i'm aware that's my lack of JS knowledge, below some questions to better understand what you suggest me :

i didn't understand this steps :/

i saw the examples on the wiki page, that's great i can follow the example "remove_outputs" but this still require to low the notebook name

i changed the code of the svninfo button to :
IPython.toolbar.add_buttons_group([
{
'label' : 'SVN Info',
'icon' : 'ui-icon-info',
'callback': function(){IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('a = !svn info'),
IPython.notebook.kernel.execute('svninfo = {i.split(": ")[0]:i.split(": ")[1] for i in a[:-1]}',
{'execute_reply': function(data){console.log('data:',data)}},
{'user_variables':['svninfo']})
}
}
]);
i'm not yet able to print out the dict in a new cell …
the svninfo dictionary is available in the notebook's code cell (after i press the info button),
so the IPython.notebook.kernel.execute works as aspected and the
svninfo is also available in the JS console.
but trying to add the svninfo in the "last" cell adding a line in the button like :
#
…
{'user_variables':['svninfo']}),
IPython.notebook.get_cell(-1).set_text(svninfo)
#
but i have errors .. i guess i should not pass the python dict to set_text()
Uncaught ReferenceError: svninfo is not defined
i tried to give the JS object :
#
…
{'user_variables':['svninfo']}),
IPython.notebook.get_cell(-1).set_text(data.user_variables.svninfo)
#
but it gave me
Uncaught ReferenceError: data is not defined custom.js:32
IPython.toolbar.add_buttons_group.callbackcustom.js:32
f.event.dispatchjquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
h.handle.ijquery-1.7.1.min.js:3
data:
Object {status: "ok", execution_count: 0, user_variables: Object, payload: Array[0], user_expressions: Object}

i can print a string (not yet a python object) in the last cell using something like :
IPython.notebook.get_cell(-1).set_text('…some text….')
but i don't know how to "add" a new cell,
let's say i want add a cell at the end, i should select the n=-1 with :
> IPython.notebook.select(n)
then :
> IPython.notebook.insert_cell_above()
and at the end :
IPython.notebook.get_cell(-1).set_text('…some text….')
but the cell is not added

does this means i can have more "callback" executed when the same "button" is triggered ?

i'm a bit slow in learning how the system works (my fault)
it is helping me a lot!
Thanks!
