Error Converting Sparkfun Eagle libraries

[nahidalam]

I was trying to convert Sparkfun-Connectors.lbr (https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun-Eagle-Libraries) and seeing below error

Converting Lib: SparkFun-Connectors.lbr
Module Output: SparkFun-Connectors.mod
Symbol Output: SparkFun-Connectors.lib
Lib Name: SparkFun-Connectors
Conversion Failed

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "C:...\r\Eagle2Kicad/Common\Device.py", line 46, in getPadByPinName
return self.connects[name].pad
KeyError: 'SHIELD'

I am using Python 3.3, have successfully converter other Eagle libraries before.

It looks like this was being caused by a device for which the symbol had an extra PIN (called SHIELD) which was not on the footprint. The latest version of the repository contains a potential fix. Although I am not sure how KiCad will react when trying to match the converted symbol to the converted footprint.
