KiCost is intended to be run as a script for generating part-cost spreadsheets for
circuit boards developed with KiCad.

* Free software: MIT license
* Documentation: https://kicost.readthedocs.org.

Features
--------

* Processes the BOM XML file from your KiCad schematic to create a part-cost spreadsheet by
  scraping the web sites of several popular distributors for price and inventory data.
* The spreadsheet contains quantity-adjusted pricing from each distributor for 
  individual parts and the total board.
* Enter the number of boards to be built in a spreadsheet cell and all the pricing
  for the total board and individual parts is updated.
* The spreadsheet also shows the current inventory on-hand for each part at each distributor.
* Enter the quantity of each part that you want to purchase from each distributor and
  lists of part numbers and quantities will appear in formats that you can cut-and-paste
  directly into the website ordering page of each distributor.
