Is anyone working on a DRC plugin capability for pcbnew?

Asked by Ed Johns

It would be cool to have the DRC checker run python plugin scripts as part of the drc check. Something like:

Read drc plugin classes
Add checkbox to DRC Control for each class found
Execute selected classes and display errors

I know it is not as simple as that. It would require an abstract plugin class to be defined, search paths, and passing the top level PCB object, but this would allow "userland" DRC for component clearance errors and such.

Thanks and have a good one.
