Hello,

This is my second contribution. It's a simple one line addition to
netclass.i to expose the netclassptr constructor, enabling python scripts
to add new netclasses.

In my first contribution, I made a couple errors in the contribution
process which Wayne graciously fixed for me. I did look at those
differences and I believe I'm adhering better now.

If I missed something this time, please be specific. I plan on contributing
again and want to make things as easy as possible.



In case anyone would like to exercise the code, this will do it. The new
api is in red:
import pcbnew

board = pcbnew.GetBoard()
ds = board.GetDesignSettings()
# ugly. exposes a public member not via an accessor method
nc = ds.m_NetClasses
foo = pcbnew.NETCLASSPTR("foo")
nc.Add(foo)



Miles

PS this is only a one-liner and I feel a little goofy for it. I wanted to
get it out there before it got lost in the pile other stuff I'm doing.
