The link you gave states this near the top: IPKISS is a python-based library for the generation of GDSII layouts, including hierarchy. It has grown out of the GDS_KEY library, but it is more flexible and object oriented. Contrary to GDS_KEY, **it can read and edit existing GDSII files**. And at the bottom of the page: * Import of existing GDSII files into a layout (import.py) It looks to be a reader?! - Paddy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
