I en-counted the problem of using;
footprint.position = Vector2.from_xy_mm(x,y
where the anchor is set but the footprint does not follow.
Found post
Unfortunately post closed 2 days ago!
Followed
to compile latest version
Now, inside the env, I see with “pip list”, that pip has kicad-python version 0.4.0.dev0
But I cannot “import kipy”
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘kipy.proto.common.envelope_pb2’
What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks

Why are you using someone’s random out of date copy of the repo instead of the official repo?
You’re missing the build steps from COMPILING.md, probably
Yes, you’re right. Working on correct repo …
Will report back…
Thank you for the pointer, deleted previous, went to the gitlab repo, followed the COMPILING.md.
Needed to install poetry manually;
as the read me method resulted in poetry config invalid error.
But now my placement script is working.
Thanks to all the developers that have made Kicad what it is.
And @craftyjon for his guidance.

@peteL It is most likely this issue I reported. It is already fixed for v9.0.3: IPC API: Attaching Footprint to mouse broken (#21047) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab
