Thanks for your message, Nick.

In this case support of python from pcbnew is not used.
It (should) works in the next sequence:
1) start eeschema;
2) launch kicadbom2spec as BOM plugin from eeschema;
3) it launches as separate python app and get scematic file to processing.
Now kicadbom2spec installs as separate program, independent of KiCAD. It
also installs system wide python, wxpython and odfpy.
On linux I can setup it as BOM plugin to eeschema without any problem.
But when I trying to do it on Windows, I get trouble - kicad uses it own
python instead the systemwide.

For me best variant is installing kicadbom2spec as plugin to KiCAD and use
it own python, wxpython and other. To realize this build-in python must be
full featured.

I know, those messages looks egoistic, but I started this thread because
think, that full featured python may be helpfull for other users.

Regards, Konstantin.
