yes, that works very nicely. Maybe for interactive sessions, it might be
nice to have:
gnucap.list()
wrapper, but very low prio, as the cmd("..") syntax works nicely already.

for now, it's probably most straightforward to access data through the

yes, it works nicely, I use this:

w = gnucap.CKT_BASE_find_wave("v(1)")
xs=[]; ys = []
for (x,y) in w:
    xs.append(x)
    ys.append(y)

yes, for my purposes, the current setup works fine already.

I was able to run the gnucap python package in Python 2, for Python 3 (
which i use for Jupyter i get this, probably I am missing a build step to
build the module for Python3:

PS I am taking some notes in a gitbook
https://mulder-patrick.gitbook.io/gnucap/ - will try to extend it "peu a
peu". Also, will try to play with diode, and DC sweeps for a transistor
next.
