Enabling Python scripting for Eeschema

 

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.
