KiCAD 6.0 BOM script that don't add comma in Ref (this is easier to convert from CSV to e.g. xlsx) and strip Library name from footprint

bom_csv_grouped_by_value_with_simple_fp.py

#
# Example python script to generate a BOM from a KiCad generic netlist
#
# Example: Sorted and Grouped CSV BOM
# 

"""
    @package
    Output: CSV (comma-separated)
    Grouped By: Value, Footprint
    Sorted By: Ref
    Fields: Ref, QTY, Value, Cmp name, Footprint, Description, Vendor
    Notes: 
        * Footprint is simplified - the Footprint library name is omitted, only kept is Footprint name.
        * If there is multiple Ref with same Value & Footprint - those are separated with space
        * Based on 'bom_csv_grouped_by_value_with_fp.py'

    Command line:
    python "pathToFile/bom_csv_grouped_by_value_with_simple_fp.py" "%I" "%O.csv"
