Using python for a CAD program

Yes, I figured I should be pretty expert at what's out there first
before redoing something and making in inferior to the existing
solution.  I took a quick peek at cadence courses, and they're out of
my personal price range.  I have a new job coming up which should lead
into IC design after some time, and I should probably ask them to send
me to the course.
