["Steven A. Falco" <stevenfalco@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've posted a patch for the Fedora nightlies to enable gtk3/wxpython4/python3 and to turn on scripting:

https://github.com/KiCad/fedora-packaging/pull/26

However, because of the eeschema line-width issues that I mentioned yesterday, I'm not convinced that users will be happy with gtk3.

In the attached screenshot, compare the line width at pin 2 and pin 3 of the op-amp.
