old thread, but I think it's relevant to my issue. My interest is mostly in the python interface to pcbnew.[0]
With the new connectivity stuff, what's the proper way to ask a net what pads belong to it? In python, I used to be able to do net.Pads() [1] I tried adding connectivity.h[2] to boards.i via a new connectivity.i but then I realized that GetConnectedPads can't take a net. net is not a board_connected_item I could iterate through all pads and compare each one's net. Seems like a not so good way to do it. I do see that the implementation of GetPadCount(aNet) does just that.[3] Also, in that implementation, it's referencing connAlgo's padList. Is this better than asking board for its pads? I'm thinking the whole "don't repeat yourself" thing [4] So, what is the recommended way to get a net's list of pads?
