Notes on scripting in kicad 5.1.5, updated 2020-10-14

As development towards 6 continues, whatever I can get out of the debian repos gets less up to date. The official docs are too new for me. and aren't useful.

These folks have a mirror that is close to correct, at least it has the pcbnew.TEXTE_PCB Class Reference

import pcbnew

board = pcbnew.GetBoard()

# modify text size of text starting with "P":
for drw in board.GetDrawings():
    if (drw.GetShownText().startswith("P")):
        drw.SetThickness(150000)

for m in board.GetModules():
    if m.GetValue() == "2K2":
        m.Reference().SetVisible(True)
        m.Reference().SetTextHeight(500000)
        m.Reference().SetTextWidth(500000)
        m.Reference().SetThickness(70000)
