scripting. I like python so much it tends to pain me to write some code in other languages when I know how easy it would be to do in python.
I'd say the same for a lot of languages which are not python :P:P (I'm actually more proficient in 3 different assemblers than it python)
If the only BOM output is an S-expression (or XML, or etc.) file, and anything else would be generated via an interpreted script I would regard an interpreter as a requirement of Kicad, and not just a "nice to have". As a minimum, any Kicad install should be able to produce a human readable BOM output, which could be as simple as the standard .lst text file without relying on an external interpreter being installed.
100% agree, in fact it's what I said in my first answer. Just keep the 'simple BOM' and export the whole database as SEXP/XML/whatever. XML has the added bonus of being trendy and more common to import (but still I don't like it) -- Lorenzo Marcantonio Logos Srl _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~kicad-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
