pcbnewTransition 0.3.2

Library that allows you to support both, KiCAD 5 and KiCAD 6 in your plugins

Pcbnew Transition

This library allows you to easily support both, KiCAD 6 and KiCAD 5 in your KiCAD plugins. It basically monkeypatches KiCAD 5 Python module, so it matches KiCAD 6 API.

Note: By KiCAD 6 I mean current nightly (v5.99).

Usage

Instead of:

import pcbnew

Use:

from pcbnewTransition import pcbnew

And then, use the API for KiCAD 6. In case you need to distinguish v5 and v6, you can:

from pcbnewTransition import KICAD_VERSION, isV6

if isV6():
    # something...
