Hey Adam,

First you'd need to create an instance of the plugin class, and pass it
the config object. Then you can call its calculate() method. For example:

import volatility.plugins.gui.messagehooks as messagehooks
plugin = messagehooks.MessageHooks(self._config)
for x in plugin.calculate():
    print x

We do this a lot in other plugins, but one in particular that you can
consult for examples is the truecrypt plugin:

Cheers,
MHL
