Randall,
I was talking about file type footprints. Are you using python to make m4
scripts or to make file-type footprints?
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I meant that I first tried m4, and then gave up
on it and switched to using python to create file-type footprints. In
principle, I essentially replaced m4 with python, though the mechanics
of it are a bit different. (I run the python scripts manually to
produce file-type footprints, instead of the m4 script output going
straight into the pcb file.) With a little hacking, it would be
possible to use python in the same way m4 is currently used, though I
don't see a whole lot of benefit to it.
