Jean-Samuel,

Thanks for the patch!


It is in a branch, incubating at

   lp:~kicad-developers/kicad/python_plugin

This directory should allow you to modify the branch until a decision is made to commit it
in a several weeks.

I will be able to look at it in more detail in a couple of weeks at which point I'd want
to install some python interpreter instantiation class wrappers.

---------

A couple of things I've noticed right away are:

a) The plugin name is a bit awkward for the table editor.  Do you have any objections to
having the user simply pick "Python" in the dropdown cell editor?


b) I am not in love with the class name, but its not bad.


c) Coding standards, always coding standards......  position of * characters, etc.


d) I wonder what kind of python module would make this more interesting?


sqlite?

The possibilities are endless now, so I'm not going to wrack my brain wondering very long.

I wouldn't mind hearing feedback on the anticipated utility of this from others however.


Regards,


Dick
