Hi Piers, Very nice work, thanks! IMHO C++ APIs SWIGgged directly to python are rather big and inelegant and such a wrapper makes writing scripts much easier! Are you intending to continue working on your wrapper? I vote for including it in future Kicad releases along with some examples. Miguel, Wayne - would you agree?
