Is there a way to create components in PythonCAD? There are two ways components might work: held together as a set of objects, or inserted into a drawing as unaggregated objects. The latter is already implementable using cut and paste. Load up a component's drawing in a File/New window, select the entire thing, Edit/Copy, go back to the first drawing, and paste.
The trouble with smashing components is that if you need to change the component, you need to go back and change it everywhere it was used. The trouble with keeping component objects together is that you need to treat it like a single object, with its own transformation matrix (translation / mirroring / rotation).
