Indeed,

there is actually a plan to improve this in the future. Personally, I
even wrote down a very rough idea myself:

https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-python/wiki/swig-interface-idea

I was able to compile eeschema with swig binding
(https://github.com/pointhi/kicad-source-mirror/commits/eeschema_swig),
but it looks like I need to wait until the unified coordinate system is
integrated, to start with the real work. Otherwise, sharing a common
library between eeschema and pcbnew could require a unnecessary number
of hacks.

Regards, Thomas
