Does it work with Python3?

[leoheck]

I am trying to use it with Ubuntu 20.04 with Kicad 5.1.5 without docker.

Currently trying to solve this

My fork works with Python3. It changed a lot of details, but I hope the README is clear enough: https://github.com/INTI-CMNB/kicad-automation-scripts If you try it and doesn't work please tell me what error are you getting.

Yes, I saw your fork, it works really well for me. I saw other forks too. I was trying to figure out how I could get the functionality of many other forks into a single fork/place.
