[Bernhard Stegmaier <stegmaier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

These are the default paths which I have added or adapted from previous code some while back:
    // User scripting folder (~/Library/Application Support/kicad/scripting/plugins)
    pypath = GetOSXKicadUserDataDir() + wxT( "/scripting/plugins" );

    // Machine scripting folder (/Library/Application Support/kicad/scripting/plugins)
    pypath += wxT( ":" ) + GetOSXKicadMachineDataDir() + wxT( "/scripting/plugins" );

    // Bundle scripting folder (<kicad.app>/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting/plugins)
    pypath += wxT( ":" ) + GetOSXKicadDataDir() + wxT( "/scripting/plugins" );

    // Bundle wxPython folder (<kicad.app>/Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages)
    pypath += wxT( ":" ) + Pgm().GetExecutablePath() +
              wxT( "Contents/Frameworks/python/site-packages" );

    // Original content of $PYTHONPATH
    if( wxGetenv("PYTHONPATH") != NULL )
    {
        pypath = wxString( wxGetenv("PYTHONPATH") ) + wxT( ":" ) + pypath;
    }
I must confess though, that I never did really test it because
* the latest build with Python enabled had issues with hotkeys in the editor (all hotkeys got eaten and didn’t appear in the Python console)
* I didn’t have any idea on how to use scripting…


Regards,
Bernhard
