Creating a new plugin

[Michele_Santucci]

I stumbled on a bug that’s already been reported:

Creating a net in Python

I’ll bump this with a Fixed update, since I was trawling for script issues on something else… jean-pierre charras (jp-charras) wrote on 2018-05-24: #8 …However, I fixed the problem. Looks like the line in netclass.i that force SWIG to generate the wrapper was misplaced and not taken in account. Good to see Python support is not always going backwards

and signed as fixed (from almost 3 years) but apparently in my case the class NETINFO_ITEM is still not usable trough Python:

import pcbnew
board = pcbnew.GetBoard()
net = NETINFO_ITEM(board, "NEWNET")
Traceback (most recent call last): File "<input>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'NETINFO_ITEM' is not defined

Someone else tried this? I’m running KiCAD 5.1.4 on Windows 10 Pro
