Hi

I've been wanting to automate the generation of PCB and schematic plots.
I've been able to do the PCB parts with the existing Python interface
(though a bit of a hassle to find), but I want the same for eeschema too
but that doesn't seem to exist but could help get that working.

It seems that the code in scripting/ and pcbnew/scripting is too tightly
coupled to easily copy the CMake setup from pcbnew to eeschema.

I know my way around CMake and C++ but I would appreciate some some
pointers to the best way to get started with building a scripting
interface for eeschema? I heard from IRC that there is work going on for
a better general API for the Python code so I guess I would make a
specialized plotting API.
