[Miguel Ángel Ajo <majopela@xxxxxxxxxx>]

A little experiment, with the suggested * mm / * inch notation.  

https://github.com/KiCad/kicad-python/pull/6/files [1]

Look specially at the tests (last files).

Feel free to comment over the code.

If we could default to mm (my preferred) or inches, we could
save a lot of code (specially to process by human brains
reading python) while retaining all the precision.


Best,
Miguel Ángel Ajo
[1] Note: 2 builds failed because I didn’t make the C++ “pcbnew” module for the tests.
