Dear All

As an happy Kicad user I had to draw the PCB of a product called V6
overdrive that saturates guitare sound on a string by string basis.

As you may imagine there are 6 identicall ways and some common functions.
Each way features 70 components. The ways share components two by two (way
0 and 1, 2 and 3, 4 and 5)

My approach was to draw a hierarchichal schematic with Kicad. This feature
is already stable.
Then I faced the problem of doing a modular routing. I used kipy/klonor as
a basis. I modified it to track the instances of the components is the
kicad schematic and offset the components using the first two ways as a
template.

It does not run for tracks, but it is easy to copy and paste it.

Now I would like to release it, in order to share it for both usage and
development. What do you think is the best for that? Is there a room in
kicad for such python script? Or anywhere else on the internet?
