The Softimage API (object model) is not visible because its all about dynamic dispatching at runtime. This is like thinking your editor will be natively enough smart to detect attributes you would add dynamically when overriding the __getattr__ method of a class. Happily for us the dispatching is cached somewhere and even introspectable by using the pythoncom/pywin32 API. With a little effort and sticking with python, one would have no problem in developing a plugin for this text editor specially if sublime API is as convenient as it is claimed. The first step is to learn how to use correctly the pywin32 package and what it does under the hood to fully understand what the 'ultimate' solution could be. --jo
