Thanks Dick, It really seems that the scripting thing is bringing us a lot of good things, I'd like to push it forward faster, we advance slowly, but it's being a fruitful work :)
I'll announce a contribution that Edwin van den Oetelaar sent us yesterday night, and now that I'm trying it, it's awesome!!! :) He figured out how to fix the "wx" issue, so it will let us interact with the wx part from Python, adding the wxPython dependency to pcbnew, but I understand it's perfectly ok :-) I'm writing that email :) 2012/7/30 Dick Hollenbeck <[email protected]> > > > > > > I suppose it's something that receives a set of parameters and generates a > > module/footprint or circuit? > > spiral, on free board inductor generator I guess. > > > > > > > > > I am not certain that Pcbnew can yet invoke a script, it may be that we > > are still using > > topmost script with the DLL/DSO underneath.
