This is a python script that turns keyboard layout JSON files from
www.keyboard-layout-editor.com and generates OpenSCAD .scad files that can be
further modified and exported to .dxf or other formats as desired within
OpenSCAD.

Workflow-wise, I find what works best hand-coding my own top-level .scad files,
defining one module for each desired plate, and including the generated plate
scad file by name within the module.  It separates the hand-mods from the auto
generated plates cleanly, and works nicely with OpenSCAD's automatic reloading
of externally-modified open scad files.
