Hi all,

I've just discovered kicad and seen that there is(was?) a python scripting
support embedded into it.

I've tried to build from source kicad on my linux box (seems more easy) but
I could'nt manage to get python support.

Reading the TODO list of CMake, I've seen it is not yet supported with
cmake.

Is there another wat to compile kicad with python support?

Does it works well and is it very used (seems not L ). If it is not very
used, can you explain what are the current problem of the python binding if
any?


Regards,

Laurent
