Hi Folks- KiCad now officially only supports Python 3. Note that this comes a full year and 6 months after Python 2 was deprecated (https://pythonclock.org/) and most, if not all, of our supporting packages have pledged to stop supporting Python 2 (https://python3statement.org/)
We are now making the same transition. As part of this transition, we are also binding the Python interpreter more closely with KiCad. This means that we have removed the following build settings and set them all to 'ON': KICAD_SCRIPTING=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_MODULES=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_PYTHON3=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON_PHOENIX=ON KICAD_SCRIPTING_ACTION_MENU=ON For the moment, `KICAD_SCRIPTING_WXPYTHON` does remain an advanced build setting but we'll be moving that to the advanced_config file shortly as it does not control a build setting (only a run-time operation). The current minimum Python version is 3.7 (due to a module test call we use) but we are looking at potentially supporting Python 3.6 if we can handle dynamic reloads. A large thank you in this effort goes to Mark Roszko and Adam Wolf who wrangled the build requirements for Windows and Mac respectively. The transition was non-trivial and largely invisible. KiCad has come out better for the work that they contributed.
