# Some KiCad plugins in Python
|
|
|
|
Thoses plugins must be copied inside KiCad's python plugins
|
|
directory (~/.kicad_plugins or /usr/share/kicad/scripting/plugins/ for
|
|
Linux).
|
|
Most of them use python plugin (Action plugins) in KiCad. This feature
|
|
is enabled in daily builds of KiCad.
