Segmentation Fault
I freshly installed KiCad 5.0 and this plugin on a Mint Linux virtualbox. KiCad exits abruptly with a segmentation fault on launch of pcbnew. Any idea how to figure out why? All dependencies can be imported from python2.7. Pcbnew launches no problem if I rename ~/.kicad_plugins to ~/.kicad_plugins_backup (but of the scripts are then invisible to kicad). As soon as I rename it back to what it should be the segmentation faults come back. These are the only scripts installed. Terminal output:
# amoose136@Spectrologix-mint: ~

[1] 10669 segmentation fault (core dumped) kicad
I suggest running pcbnew from gdb.
probably something like this:
sudo apt install gdb
which gdb -> this will give you the path to pcbnew
gdb
wait for it to seg fault which should give you a prompt in gdb run the command 'backtrace'
which should tell you where in the code it was when it died.
If you do get a trace, please let me know what it says.
A zillion things could have happened.
I'm also having this or related issues. I tried running a few different versions from the @aimylios/kicad-nightly and @kicad/kicad copr repositories in Fedora 28 and could only get a couple of the scripts to work properly.
I'll give it a try with gdb and see what I can find out later as well.
What I got was:

Well that's not what I expected.
Kicad 5.0 downloaded from the kicad site (ie, you didn't compile it) running on a recent Linux Mint (19? I haven't used that distro but I understand it to be easy to install)
I'll give it shot. Thanks for taking the time.

I installed Kicad 5.0 via the package manager following the instructions found at: http://kicad-pcb.org/download/linux-mint/ Mint is super simple to install. It's almost just Ubuntu but with a desktop layout that more closely resembles the way Ubuntu looked pre-Unity.
Edit: The virtual machine is running linux Mint 19 Cinnamon 64bit
I have reproduced the seg fault. The hunt begins.

so the problem is a simple matter of version mismatches.
You can find a little discussion about it here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/wxpython-3-1-error-building-kicad-from-source-ubuntu-18-04/11431/10
In linux, kicad sits on gtk2. gtk2 is old and most of the linux world is moving towards or is told to move toward gtk3
wxpython is used as a glue layer between gtk and python. The version of wxpython that is built against gtk2 is no longer built in the common distros. I wasn't able find an older build of it. (or I got errors about release files missing which I think happens when a release area is being phased out)
anyway, the latest wxpython4.0 does still support gtk2 builds, but kicad is not built on that yet.
I did some work on moving kicad there some time last year: https://lists.launchpad.net/kicad-developers/msg31889.html
but wxpython4.0 didn't seem ready at the time.
now that the world has evolved in a way that the python stuff just doesn't work, those not readinesses seem less critical.
Perhaps normal ubuntu could work but it seems unlikely. (I'm on arch).
Kind of a drag. Maybe there's older kicad nightlies somewhere.

That sucks, the aimylios / kicad-nightly repository does bundle wx-python and wxPython-GTK2 but I guess that isn't enough, or I'll test it again to be sure I didn't miss installing something. https://copr-be.cloud.fedoraproject.org/results/aimylios/kicad-nightly/fedora-29-x86_64/00789449-wxPython-GTK2/
This Ubuntu PPA has kicad nightlies with wxpython3.0 and wxwidgets3.0 in it, not sure if that helps, haven't had a chance to try Ubuntu yet. https://launchpad.net/~js-reynaud/+archive/ubuntu/ppa-kicad
I'd be willing to give Arch a try if it works, is there a particular version you're running?
for running kicad with scripting enabled, I suggest ubuntu 16.04 (18 has the same issues as Mint, of course)
I don't know whether the nighly build would work. I suspect not; I believe some/much of the python stuff is disabled.
compiling youself is not hard and it sounds like you're motivated: https://kicad.mmccoo.com/2017/02/01/compiling-kicad-on-ubuntu/
Generally, I recommend against the kicad "releases" since they are few and far between. The Kicad folks do a great job of keeping the nighly stuff working and reliable.
also, note that for my plugin to work, you need additional python packages. They are listed in the readme, which I just updated.

In the linked thread Rene_Poschl said that 5.1 will likely be fixed for newer versions of wxpython. In my case if this is true and 5.1 comes by next spring, that's good enough for me and I'll just wait. I already have things working on my (admittedly obsolete) Macbook Pro using a nightly from just prior to the 5.0 release so it should be good enough to just open things there for the initial layout step until 5.1 is released.
I installed Ubuntu 16.04 in a virtual machine.
Installed kicad from the instructions at http://kicad-pcb.org/download/ubuntu/
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:js-reynaud/kicad-5
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt install kicad
sudo apt install python-setuptools
sudo pip install autoenv
sudo easy_install pip
sudo pip install dxfgrabber numpy scipy shapely
I was able to have the following plugins show up in kicad:
Although, I used a virtualenv to install the dxfgrabber numpy scipy shapely and ran kicad from the command line while the virtualenv was activated:
virtualenv --system-site-packages venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install dxfgrabber numpy scipy shapely
kicad
This allows me to keep the required packages listed with my project in requirements.txt to more easily track the required libraries.
I believe that all the plugins are available, I count 14 of them using grep self.name */*.py and I have 14 menu items.
It loads everything now at least. I still think I'm having other issues though, not related to just outright crashing, but it's an improvement.
