This is actually a fork of Gist: pwuertz/kicad_picknplace_assistant.py. I am making this as Gist doesn't have pull request feature, so taking it to a Github repo makes it easier to maintain.
AKA manual pick-and-place document generator for KiCAD PCB files.
A simple python script that generates pdf files that indicate the position of components on the PCB for every item on the BOM list. Each BOM line generates one corresponding page.
Simply call the script with Python 2.7, and provide the filename of your *.kicad_pcb file.
python kicad_picknplace_assistant.py your_file.kicad_pcb
This script runs on Python 2.7.
Requires matplotlib, numpy etc.
Requires the KiCAD's pcbnew to be installed (it comes with the required Python libraries).

Thanks to Peter who shared this awesome piece of code on Gist. My initial commit is simply a bug fix plus some improvements from Simon.
