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.
