Hi Chris, I second your opinion. The current Python API reflects a very unstable and C++-ish internal API of pcbnew. We can't do even a basic refactoring of our code without breaking the scripts. @JP: concerning undo/ratsnest/connectivity updates, using BOARD_COMMITs instead of the BOARD directly solves this issue, but it would be still a very C++-style code put in Python world.
