Re: Opening pcbnew from kicad: ImportError: No module named pcbnew

 

Ohh yeah, I did not notice that before. That must be why it can't find
it. The scripting thing does not support py3k. We should really try to
make it support both. I hope someone volunteers, I myself, does not
know what it takes in the swig context.

But I can tell that on my system (archlinux) I have both python 3 and
python 2.7 installed with the default python being 3. But here it
works fine. Maybe Clemens only have python 3 installed?
