### Description (declared)

# KiCad API Python Bindings

`kicad-python` is the official Python bindings for the [KiCad](https://kicad.org) IPC API.  This
library makes it possible to develop scripts and tools that interact with a running KiCad session.

The KiCad IPC API can be considered in "public beta" state with the release of KiCad 9 (currently
planned for on or around February 1, 2025).  The existing SWIG-based Python bindings for KiCad's
PCB editor still exist in KiCad 9, but are in maintenance mode and will not be expanded.

For more information about the IPC API, please see the
[KiCad developer documentation](https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/apis-and-binding/ipc-api/index.html).
Specific documentation for developing add-ons is
[also available](https://dev-docs.kicad.org/en/apis-and-binding/ipc-api/for-addon-developers/index.html).

> Note: Version 0.0.2 and prior of this package are an obsolete earlier effort and are unrelated to
> this codebase.

## Requirements

Using the IPC API requires a suitable version of KiCad (9.0 or higher) and requires that KiCad be
running with the API server enabled in Preferences > Plugins.  This package also depends on the
`protobuf` and `pynng` packages for communication with KiCad.

> Note: Unlike the SWIG-based Python bindings, the IPC API requires communication with a running
> instance of KiCad.  It is not possible to use `kicad-python` to manipulate KiCad design files
> without KiCad running.

## Contributing

Please file bug reports and feature requests in this Gitlab project.  The team may move them to the
main KiCad repository depending on the nature of the request.

Merge requests are welcome for minor fixes and improvements.  More significant changes should be
discussed with the development team (via email, or in an issue) first.

## Building from Source

Most users should use `kicad-python` by installing the latest version from PyPI.  You can also
build and install the library from this repository, to test unreleased changes or contribute to
