I started using PN and would like to customize it for my needs with minor efforts so I would like to use PyPN for this and I have few questions:
1. Is there any documentation describing PyPN and scintilla APIs?
2. Is there access to CTags dictionary from PyPN?
3. Do results of CTags reside in memory or dumped to a file during a work of PN?
4. Can I create dialogs in PyPN in order to add my own fuctionality?
Thanks.

1. There are a couple of scripts around on the forums for extracting pydoc from the current APIs, I'm hoping to publish something to the website/wiki soon.
2. Currently no, but you can popen ctags yourself right now. I'll enable access to the taggers in a future release.
3. CTags results are kept in memory, they never touch a file.
4. Hmm, I haven't tried this. You can use the InputBox to get some text from the user, but anything else would require one of the python UI libraries. I haven't got time to play with that at the moment, but if you do let me know how you get on!

About the first question. I personally didn't find the output of the scripts simon mentions too helpful. My primary guides for using PyPN are two of its source files (mod_pn.cpp and mod_scintilla.cpp) and Scintilla documentation found here.
For PyPN sources go to Google Code and browse to "trunk" -> "pnwtl" -> "pypn". Also imminent error messages often contain helpful info about missing / incorrect parameters.
