I figured out your issue. Unfortunately when you install from source, the python modules are always installed in the python site package path which will fail without root privileges on linux distros. You may have missed the python module install failure. We may want to rethink this in the future but that is a can of worms I don't want to tackle right now because it has the potential to break our automated package builds.
You have two options. Run make install using sudo or manually copy the python modules somewhere in your home folder and use the PYTHONPATH environment variable to add your custom path to Python so it can find the pcbnew python modules.
