Nice!

I have a very similar script I use since early 2012, at

svn://repo.hu/openhw/projects/util/trunk/devmap

The major differences are:

- I implemented it in two levels; the lower level is a simple pinmap 
attribute in gschem that stores the whole mapping without having to use an 
external database of sym->fp mappings; the higher level is simlar to 
yours, can attach/edit arbitrary attributes of a symbol (including pinmap)

- I have a separate file for each sym->fp "device" (found it easier to 
maintain the database like that)

- my script works on the gnetlist level so it should work both with 
gsch2pcb and import


In cschem I plan to have a similar feature included right from the first 
release (as an optional plugin).
