@iharshadec
I got the requirements installed in Windows with Python3.8.?
The most important step that enabled me to successfully install the requirements (on both Windows and Linux) was to upgrade the pip first by running:
python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip

Also, look how I ran the requirements installation on Windows below.

Last thing, I added the path (shown in the warning above) in my Environment Variables for the user only.

Answer 2 · 2021-02-03T04:58:09.000Z

I got Bezier installed with Greg's tip on how to set variable. Now I have installed all requirement successfully.

Also I setup Path

And I downloaded @DCelectronics code and pasted in

C:\Users\Ecloud12\AppData\Roaming\kicad\scripting\plugins\

But I do not see KiBuzzard Icon on pcbnew.

I did Refresh Plugins and Restarted KiCad as well. On @DCelectronics there is no option to generate issue/ticket so I did here itself.

Answer 3 · 2021-02-03T05:07:12.000Z

@iharshadec Which branch did you download?

Answer 4 · 2021-02-03T05:13:50.000Z

@iharshadec Which branch did you download?

I downloaded your main branch.

Answer 5 · 2021-02-03T05:16:29.000Z

I assume you have installed the prerequisites recursively.
I do not see a TMP or TEMP in your environment variables.

Answer 6 · 2021-02-03T05:18:39.000Z

I assume you have installed the prerequisites recursively.
I do not see a TMP or TEMP in your environment variables.

I am not sure then I am missing something major. I was going thru other issues in detail but if you can reference me I can look over that.
Is downloading and using your main branch is OK?

Answer 7 · 2021-02-03T05:20:44.000Z

Yes my main branch is up to date.
Can you revert the changes in your downloaded files from this update 98da54e

change line 118 to
filepath = os.environ['KIPRJMOD'] + "/" + self.buzzard_label_library_path

Answer 8 · 2021-02-03T05:27:35.000Z

Ok, Changed line 118

Still I do not see KiBuzzard Icon on my Plugin list.

@DCelectronics line 118 change is to not have that TMP or TEMP as PATH?

Answer 9 · 2021-02-03T05:29:13.000Z

It was a finicky and you need to restart KiCad (not only PcbNew)
Yes the tempfile.gettempdir() in line 118 an the import tempfile in line 6 are used save to system TMP location.

Restarted KiCad -- Still no KiBuzzard Icon.
KiBuzzard.zip

Let me restart my machine as well.

Answer 11 · 2021-02-03T05:47:38.000Z

I don't think is necessary to restart the machine.
Would you please try this in your command window? (your path would be different than the one shown below).

Here it is.

Answer 13 · 2021-02-03T05:52:48.000Z

I am comparing my files with your zip

and I see that you are missing config.ini and requirements.txt

Answer 14 · 2021-02-03T05:55:42.000Z

Oh ! I did download from github website. I think I need to clone recursively your repo?

Answer 15 · 2021-02-03T06:00:26.000Z

You have to clone recursively (I have done it manually in Win10) to get the requirements.
Here is my working zip file
@iharshadec I updated the zip file (have another user on Win10 and had issues even after downgrading to python3.8.x After using the updated zip file the plugin icon appeared.
KiBuzzard.zip

These files should save the footprint in the c:\Users\Ecloud12\AppData\Temp

I really appreciate your help @DCelectronics

I just have to replace your working KiBuzzard folder to this one -- Correct?

Answer 17 · 2021-02-03T06:09:08.000Z

One directory up (inside directory plugins).
It has all the working deps icons and the kitchen sink.
I am really crossing my fingers that this would work for you.

You have done a lot ! I think it's getting late there for you.
I think there is something else that is messing up and Icon is not coming up next to InteractiveBOM icon I have. :-(

I will try to dig bit more and see what's the thing I am doing wrong.

Answer 19 · 2021-02-03T06:17:31.000Z

Would you please type python3 --version instead of python --version in your terminal.
I am suspecting the python3 may not be defined. I may be wrong.

Crap ! I see python3 is not recognized as command on my windows machine. Let me figure out that first and see how can I get python3 as command.

Answer 21 · 2021-02-03T06:25:22.000Z

For the time being, change the python3 to python inside this file

https://github.com/DCelectronics/KiBuzzard/blob/main/KiBuzzard/__init__.py

This is a workaround, but there are tutorials how to set python3 in windows.

Now this looks like something else as now I got python3 as a command.

I also copied config.ini file and requirement.txt as well.

Also requirements are installed

Here is my full plugin folder just in case I am putting the folder wrong way.

plugins.zip

Answer 23 · 2021-02-03T14:56:51.000Z

OK, check if this outputs anything in you CMD terminal.
python3 C:\Users\Ecloud12\AppData\Roaming\kicad\scripting\plugins\KiBuzzard\deps\buzzard\buzzard.py "test" -o ki-5.1.x -stdout

I looked at your files and they are OK. I noticed that you had an .git folder inside \plugins\KiBuzzard\ folder which I didn't have in my Win10 setup.

Do you have python2 installed and configured as python when you call it in your CMD terminal?

This is what I get using that command.

Looks like bezier installtion related problem although requirement shows all things are fullfilled. I may need to downgrade my python to your one of 3.8.x

Answer 25 · 2021-02-04T13:52:47.000Z

@iharshadec
I updated zip file above #7 (comment)
You should have been getting the polygon points in the terminal, starting like this:
(module "buzzardLabel" (layer "F.Cu") (tedit "6017799")
(attr virtual)
(fp_poly (pts (xy 1.12 0.02) blah blah...

I may need to downgrade my python to your one of 3.8.x

That is the version I have installed in Win10.

Answer 26 · 2021-02-12T06:10:21.000Z

Conclusion:
Python 3.9.1 Looks like not working with bezier.
I installed Python 3.8.3 and setup that as python3 for windows. And I used updated .zip from @DCelectronics
This One and GUI is working on Windows 10 - Kicad 5.1.9 now.
