Kikit backend installation fail

External Plugins
1

Hi! I am trying to install Kikit plugin. However , I have issues with backend installation. After typing “pip install kikit” in KiCad command prompt I get this error message:

Error in sitecustomize; set PYTHONVERBOSE for traceback:
AssertionError: SRE module mismatch
Could not import runpy module
Traceback (most recent call last):
** File “”, line 15, in **
** File “”, line 2, in **
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘importlib._abc’

However, it was kind of a successfull installation if I use regular command prompt. This may lead to KiCad specifics.

Does anyone know the root cause and maybe a possible fix?

Does this help :

Hi! Thanks for suggestion! Unfortunately, this also does not help.
I also reinstalled (however, I already had this “bin” folder in previous installation) KiCad and tried these stuff. Result is the same.

Your best option will probably be to contact the Plugin author via his Git pages . . .

. . . just make sure you followed all the instructions about installing first.
