I have set myself a challenge of trying to understand the python code in this Open source project
https://github.com/kkunzelm/gerbmerge
The python files are in the Gerbmerge directory and the application is invoked by typing gerbmerge into a command prompt.
I am struggling to understand the overall structure and flow and how the different files play a part. As a strategy i'm going to try to understand the code in gerbmerge.py but I don't know if this is the best way to go about it.
I am a complete python newby so if anyone can help me to get an overview that would be great.Thanks.
PS Gerber and Excellon files consist of lines of ASCII text with X and Y co-ordinates and commands understood by CNC machines for printed circuit board manufacture.
