I add some details I got after more test. Maybe it should be considered
as a bug.
I can use this constructor: __init__(self, unsigned int aIdCount,
LAYER_ID aFirst, v(...) *args) -> LSET
But only if I put 1 layer in the list (with no respect for the aIdCount
value).
For example
    pcbnew.LSET(1, pcbnew.F_Cu) <= Works
    pcbnew.LSET(2, pcbnew.F_Cu) <= Works (but it shouldn't !)
    pcbnew.LSET(2, pcbnew.F_Cu, pcbnew.B_Cu) <= Doesn't Work but it should.
The Error is indicated in the previous e-mail. Maybe there is a
confusion in the type of argument
linked to the Python Swig translation ?
