Helps to build KiCad component libraries imported from octopart, samacsys, ultralibrarian and snapeda zipfiles.

Assembles KiCad "legacy" format component libraries from downloaded Octopart, Samacsys, Ultralibrarian and Snapeda zipfiles. Currently assembles only symbols and footprints. Supports component updates. Can safely copy multi-lines from the clipboard to update the component description and URL. Can be used with KiCad 5 and 6.

Configure mydirs.py

SRC = Path.home() / 'Desktop'
TGT = Path.home() / 'private/edn/kicad-libs'

Usage

$ impart -h
usage: impart [-h] [--init] [--zap]

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --init      initialize library
  --zap       delete source zipfile after assembly

Copy to clipboard as usual, just hit Enter to paste...

Hi, unfortunately I can not identify the problem. Can you help me what the message means.

Unhandled Missing File Errors

It looks like I'm running into a bunch of missing file/directory errors. Skimming through your code it looks like these fire any time you have a XXX.open() call. I'm not terribly familiar with python's Path manipulation, but it looks like you need to be checking whether the file/dir exists prior to opening them. If they don't exist, then they need to be created/touched. Am I doing something wrong such that you were not getting these errors?
