Kicad 5.99 Wxpython activation

Hello everyone, I test the v5.99 (Future V6) of Kicad. I will want to use a Replicate_Layout external plug-ins (from the Kicad_Action_Plugins group) specifically adapted to the V5.99. But I get this message:
Script-Error
How to verify KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON enabled ?
If you have ideas how to solve my problem, thank you!
Vincent.

There was a similar problem in How to run kicad-action-plugins on KiCad 5.99? but I don’t find an answer.

Hello @eelik Sorry to have duplicate the post can it move to reactivate the other post?

If it’s just for experimentation, have some patience till pcbnew is stable enough and Replicate_Layout plugin is updated, alternatively, embrace python and go on hacking yourself, the 5.99 compatible (and already outdated) version of Replicate_Layout is available here: https://github.com/MitjaNemec/Kicad_action_plugins/tree/5.99_test.

If it’s a critical application, I can help you, but then I will need info about your kicad build (Help > About > Copy Version info)

Thank you very much @Miceuz, no, it’s not critical, I moved my 5.1 project to 5.99 for trial, and when I try to watch sympathetic plugins like replace_layout I fall on this message. I download the version of the guitub 5.99_test and here is the version info:


But probably this version is exceeded …
For real need I continue to use V5.1 !
Thanks.
Vincent.

There’s no wxPython problem with it. But the plugin doesn’t work ATM without modification, see my last two posts in https://github.com/MitjaNemec/Kicad_action_plugins/issues/106. (EDIT: my comments in that issue aren’t all up to date, but there are still problems and the plugin doesn’t work.)

Thank you @eelik for the links, for lack of time I made the modification with version 5.1 which I transferred to 5.99. I think this will be adjusted later when the stability of 5.99 is better. Thanks again.
Vincent.
