Certainly the Python interface needs a few specific and "easy to call" methods to update the GUI and
the canvases, when a board is modified by a python script.

The "legacy" canvas is easy to update, but the GAL canvas has a lot of cached data, so it needs a
rebuild method.

I'll try to add this kind of methods. But remember: I have a (very) poor knowledge of Python.

Also, I'll not be able to work on Kicad next 3 days.
