Thanks for the tip… worked.

I need some help, though:
I changed the paths and I verified that all of the python wizards/plugins are loaded fine.
All paths are correct, python seems to load the plugins via __import__ just fine (there seems to be a valid object when doing a print on it), no other errors.
But, I just don’t find those plugins anywhere in pcbnew… :(

Maybe I am just blind, but where are they supposed to be?
If they should appear in the menu, where are the menu entries created?

I don’t know if related, I did not notice that before:
When opening the Tools menu I always get an OS X wxWidgets assertion about invalid checked/unchecked menu items which obviously are created wrong (at least for OS X)… maybe those are the ones I am missing?


Regards,
Bernhard
