Well, thanks Nyall, Radim and Pierre for your lights !

So good! Radim, do you have plans to extend LRS in 2016? If you have sponsors looking for co-funders, I would be interested in having it work with existing M-geometries, and have tools to generate events by picking locations on the map. Last question now :) I need to make an edit form, with inline with some attributes (measure, or x / y) that user shall use to go picking those data from the canvas. Behind the button, I need to code some behaviour, like target layer, snapping options, fields or geometry information to catch, and of course destination field. Is this possible with a python init script, without any plugin? If so, that allows me to distribute project + ui file + .py and have it work with no plugin install or additional configuration. Any snippet to point me in the right direction? (When done, I will submit it to pyqgis cookbook, this would be great to share).
