Features
--------

-   Easy installation via pip (see on documentation folder).
-   Processes the BOM XML file from your KiCad schematic to create a
    part-cost spreadsheet by geetting the price and  inventory data
    of several popular distributors web servers. (You can also enter your
    own quantity-adjusted pricing data for specialized parts or those
    not found at the supported distributors.);
-   Processes also BOM files from Altium, Proteus, Eagle, Upverter and
    hand made CSVs;
-   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.
