Cannot "import pcbnew" when running KiCad/bin/python.exe on the command-line

Weird… I have the same version you have, and it work find on my computer!

22

I did revert back to v5.0.2 since this morning. I wonder if that is a difference with the nightly build? So many variables! :cry:

Just to confirm, what exactly worked on your computer?

23

I’m have
4.0.7 installed into C:\Program Files\KiCad_4.0.7
5.0.2 installed into C:\Program Files\KiCad_5.0.2
nightly (6.0.0-rc1-dev-1455-g4b7ef22ec) installed into C:\Program Files\KiCad_r12070

All of them are working with “import pcbnew”, and sys.path are seem to point to the correct folder that I installed them!

24

Weirder and weirder!

Just to confirm, you are NOT using the scripting console in PCBNEW right?
Also, what is your Windows version?

25

Would it be you have a mix-match version of _pcbnew.pyd ? Or more than 1 _pcbnew.pyd in your installation folder?

26

I try both from pcbnew console, and CMD… They both work!

27

It seem to me, this may mean the _pcbnew.pyd version are mix match with other DLL install in KiCad folder…

28

I didn’t find any extra _pcbnew.pyd copies. Also, when I installed v5.0.2, I uninstalled KiCad first and made sure C:/Program Files/KiCad was empty.

29

That seem weird! I have no more idea for now!

Thank you very much for the ideas and confirmation that it works on your PC though!
