Hi all, I installed the latest release 8.0 on Unbutu 22.04 . Plugins are not showing in the PCB editor. When I try the scipt Python console I get this
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “/usr/share/kicad/scripting/kicad_pyshell/init.py”, line 23, in
import pcbnew
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘pcbnew’
I tried to uninstall every thing with apt purge , update and upgrade and reinstall. Nothing change.
Similar problem observed . i using ubuntu , installed 8.0 but not able to open plugins . not able to open python shell.
update: i tried with flat pack it worked nicely , even shell and plugins,
but when i open shell it show 3.11 python version , which is i am in confusion is it shipped with kicad itself? because as i knwo my system python 3.10
update: i copied pcbnew.py to locaiton : /usr/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages , and updated wxWidgets using pip. it started working , file pcbnew.py id from flatpack installation under /var/ : my OS is Ubuntu 22LTS
i tried uploading file here, but error : new user not able to upload file. But i am waiting updating from official kicad release thanks
I can also confirm that the scripting (and plugins) do work in the 8.0.0 flatpak, and it can be installed in tandem, so you can only open that version to run the scripts, if desired. You can also continue to use the version 8.0.0 in the package manager, and possibly remove the flatpak version later when 8.0.1 is released.
