ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pcbnew'

Hello,

I tried kikit on Ubuntu 18.04 and MacOs. I installed it one time from the repository with python3 install and one time from pip3. In both cases and with several kicad_pcb files I get the following error message. Is there a pcbnew package I have install?

Great news! KiCAD 6 will be available with MSVC build instead of MSYS2 build, therefore, KiKit will work on Windows out of the box (just the installation might be a little bit complicated - about 3-4 more commands compared to Linux). The same should go with MacOS

+1 on this as a MacOS user… will work around it using the docker image for now.
