These patches make sense, I used them to fix bugs in our footprint
wizard dialog issues, and issues in some pythons scripts (mainly usage
of print command which created python exceptions when stdout was never
read, especially on Windows).

But do not commit them. Reasons:
- I am thinking the wizard to create a QFN should be an other wizard
than the QFN wizard.
The thermal pad needs many parameters, useless for a QFN without thermal
pad.
- The wizard to create a QFN with thermal pad needs refinements, before
being committed

I'll have a look at that later.
