Hi Nick,

the documentation helped, but the c description is way more better. 
Thanks for help.

But may it be that there are some defines & functions missing in the 
pcbnew.py?

E.g.
1. Segvia not defined?
2. Layer defines not available: (eg. track.SetLayer(LAYER_N_BACK))

Maybe it would help to regenerate those scripting files?

At the moment I'm trying to generate a track:
====
#!/usr/bin/env python
from pcbnew import *
# create a blank board
pcb = BOARD()

#Track
track=TRACK(pcb);
track.SetStart(wxPointMM(50,50));
track.SetEnd(wxPointMM(50,60));
track.SetLayer(LAYER_N_BACK)

pcb.Add(track) # add it to our pcb


pcb.Save("myfirstvia.kicad_pcb")
===

- Michael
