Recently I have installed Kicad 6. But still it doesn’t have schematic support in python. Can anybody tell when it will be available.
Thanks in advance.
Probably in v7. ______________ ,
But how does the Kicad 6 which has to release in coming 2022 with the schematic support using python now upgraded to the Kicad Version 7 which not has came yet.
I don’t understand your phrasing. v6 is out, just in time for 2022. v7 maybe in a year’s time will hopefully have Python support for the schematic editor.
Actually before there was news that python support for the schematic editor will come in Kicad V6 but now in Kicad V7. So the waiting goes on and on…
That’s the way it is. Developer resources have to be directed towards what’s feasible.
@Parth you are correct that Python support in Eeschema was supposed to be included in V6 (which was released a few days ago). Unfortunately there wasn’t enough time for the developers to get this finished. Therefor this feature is now moved to V7 instead, which will hopefully be released in a year or so.

Donate more to increase KiCad development pace more.
Go lobby in your neighborhood to headhunt more KiCad developers.
Convince your boss that KiCad is better than Altium (or whatever) and that it only costs half the price (and then donate that half to KiCad).
Go organize little “Make a PCB with KiCad” worshop in your local community, advertise in places like libraries. More people using KiCad will increase donations, and more popularity of KiCad will also help in KiCad being taken more serious by companies.
