It was a bit fiddly, but here's something that works:
In Gedit go to Tools=>Manage External Tools...
Then add this:

Here's the code:
#!/bin/sh
EHOME=`echo $HOME | sed "s/#/\#/"`
DIR=$GEDIT_CURRENT_DOCUMENT_DIR
while test "$DIR" != "/"; do
if [ -f "${DIR}/setup.py" ]; then
echo "Using quickly from ${DIR}" | sed "s#$EHOME#~#" > /dev/stderr
cd ${DIR}
quickly run
exit
fi
DIR=`dirname "${DIR}"`
done
echo "Couldn't find Quickly project folder!" > /dev/stderr
Hope this helps you too.
