Thanks a bunch. I have no idea why it would've been picked up as spam. I've had this account for years and am anti-social enough so as not to email strangers. I've written some scripts and component wizards, but want to wait until my PCBs arrive to make sure I'm not submitting wizards with obvious errors. The scripts are good enough and I've made them available. Also, being new to this community and old to software development, I hope that it's not offensive to publish such demos.
The Python base for scripting interface for KiCad is awesome for customization, having written extensions for EAGLE in years past and having to write parsers and interpreters (autonet.ulp was the only one that I submitted, for automating the building of repetitive schematics). The nature of the types of extensions I've been writing has mostly to do with layout assistance and scripting demos.
