OaScript OpenAccess Scripting Language Bindings

From oacwiki

Develop EDA applications for OpenAccess in five popular programming languages. Along with the existing C++ API, these new implementations of the OpenAccess API enable CAD developers and chip designers alike to easily extract and manipulate electronic design data using C#, Perl, Python, Ruby or Tcl.

The performance and usability of the new Scripting Languages Working Group bindings surpass previous open scripting language implementations. The Scripting Languages Working Group bindings are all based on the popular SWIG software development tool. This unified architecture eases maintenance and simplifies the addition of any of the many programming languages supported by SWIG.

The language bindings have already been used in demanding production environments. They leverage the existing C++ API structure and OpenAccess documentation.
