Want a gladevcp button to execute a python script

I want a button in my GladeVCP panel directly execute a python script when clicked. I have always had HAL buttons execute MDI commands which can be done by just clicking stuff in the Glade editor. Is there something I am missing in the glade editor in order to have a HAL button (or should I just use a regular button in glade?) point to an executable whose first line is #!/usr/bin/python? Or do I need something else to make this happen?

A regular button will do.
You must add a callback function name to a signal of the button widget.
if you click the button then look on the properties window on the right.
Look for signal, look for 'clicked' or 'pressed' and add a function name under handler.
In your python script you must name a function with the same name.

The file name is designated on the line used to load gladevcp
