I am running the macOS nightlies: ~/Library/Preferences/kicad/5.99/scripting/plugins I don't know if this is going to be a permanent change but its how it is for now. Took me a few minutes to figure out what was going on.

in the pcbnew python console and report back what you get.

This is due to the Nightly users: changes to settings. I'll put a notice up.

Thanks. I just thought it would help someone else not waste 10 minutes trying to figure it out.
