KiCad implements a Python plugin interface so that external Python plugins can be run from within Pcbnew. The interface is generated using the Simplified Wrapper and Interface Generator or SWIG. SWIG is instructed to translate specific C/C++ header files into other languages using interface files. These files ultimately decide what C/C++ functions, classes and other declarations are exported and can be found in pcbnew/swig/. During build-time the SWIG interface files are used to generate the corresponding .
