Re: V7 Python API Development

 

Is there anything to make public already? I have been playing with the
current SWIG API, I would like to see the new API even if it's not ready
yet. I could for example look at the pcbnew API to see how it compares with
the current one, and see if I can do some documentation or a small tutorial.
