Common python+Cpp API access pcb and eschamtic file? (lp:#1831166)
Original report created by NhatKhai (nhatkhai)
I think it would be great if we have a well define API from Cpp, and can be
access from python to read, write import objects in pcbnew, and eschematic.
This allow:
* Others can develop separate code to convert/translate to difference file
format for ECAD simulation
* Whatever file format Kicad change in future do not effect and external
code
* Event main KiCad itself should use this API. So any new file format do
not impact the code already work.
* New file formats may be access naively when some one can implement to
support current API interface.
* Someone can create a converter from netlist to schematic. Or a simulator
result mode to schematic model.
Importance object mostly to allow to do simulation on schematic level or
pcb level.
