Very good work for adding it to pcbnew/scripting/examples/, but it will not let 
anything be loaded by default. Each developer has their own habits and not 
everything looks like a purely written code in my eyes. Much of coding is to 
tune up some project than writing down some script, which will be creating 
tracks or vias. Well, unless someone recode freerouter to python ...;)

BTW. Some advice to make better world ;) :
- via.SetLayerPair(layer_pair[0], layer_pair[1]) looks better as 
via.SetLayerPair(*layer_pair)
- „def mm” is bad - there are two methods in pcbnew - FromMM and ToMM, both useful…
- layer_dict is not comfortable way - as layers are defined as int, better and 
easier done it will put these string names by correct order in tuple. Any dict 
(if really needed) can be created dynamically from tuple by function:
 dict(map(lambda lname: lname, layers_tuple.index(lname), layers_tuple))
Alternative for tuple is getattr(pcbnew, lname):
>>> getattr(pcbnew, 'F_Cu')
0
>>> getattr(pcbnew, 'In1_Cu')
1
I wish you many wins with python battles… ;)
