I have added a number of enhancements to Boms-Away as I attempt to teach myself Python.

  • Boms-Away will now accept the schematic file from the command line to better integrate with
    KiCad EESchema.
  • The supplier URL and a part description are now supported fields which are useful in BOMs
  • Two new export filters, one for something close to what PCBWay wants and the other
    exports Excell XSLT.

I still have a number of features planned.

  • Save default to schematic directory
  • Sort references in column
  • Sort BOM by reference
  • Integrate Octopart and Digikey support

This patch adds a number of features:
1. The schematic file can be passed on the command line.  This allows
   EESchema to automatically call Boms Away without having to load the
   schematic.
2. Added field for a description
3. Added ability to fill in supplier URL
4. Ignore fidicials, holes and test points
5. Ignore parts labeled DNF and numerous variants of this.

I have made some more enhancements, however, I have not had much time lately to do more work on it. I also upgraded support to Python 3.
