Python module PCBNew is missing on Kicad 5.1.12 (macOS)

Hi, I just installed Kicad 5.1.12 on a macOS 11.6.1 (Big Sur).

I am trying to run kidiff.

It looks like it is missing the PCBnew module, I am seeing the following message

ImportError: No module named pcbnew

This is the way I am loading this script.

/Applications/KiCad/kicad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python "${SCRIPTPATH}/plotPCB.py" "$@"

I am not sure if I am doing something wrong today, but this should work without issues.

Ah I see. Kicad folder has changed from Kicad to KiCad.
