Tried this script with the "last" Kicad version and have this error :
Not a KiCad EEschema file! exiting!

Hi this error is valid because this script is written for EESCHEMA V2. I wrote this for versions using this file format. I have not yet looked into KICAD v6. I found this link:
https://gitlab.com/kicad/code/kicad/-/wikis/KiCad-6.0-Roadmap#s-expression-file-format
They are now using a new file format. I think the next step in the development of my tool would be an interface plugin and not something that manipulates a schema file directly... If you want to pick this up you can fork this library. Thanks for your message!
