Can't run pcbdraw on macOS

[besi]

Hello there I want to run pcbdraw.

I did install it like so:

pip install svgpathtools
pip install pcbdraw
pip install svgpathtools

Then I hit PCBDraw and I get the error:

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'pcbnew'

I am running:

Darwin mymac.local 21.6.0 Darwin Kernel Version 21.6.0: Sun Nov  6 23:31:16 PST 2022; root:xnu-8020.240.14~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

I did research some past issues so I enter the following to update the PYTHONPATH$

PYTHONPATH=/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages 

Now I get the following error:

ImportError: dlopen(/Applications/KiCad/KiCad.app/Contents/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/_pcbnew.so, 0x0002): Library not loaded: '@rpath/libwx_osx_cocoau_gl-3.1.5.dylib'

This is the problem with Mac signing applications and the way KiCAD is packed for Mac OS. We have a working solution for KiKit (https://yaqwsx.github.io/KiKit/v1.4/installation/macos/) - you should be able to replicate it for PcbDraw.

Or, if you don't mind a little bloatware and want the easy path, run PcbDraw inside a docker container (it is included in the KiKit's one).
