Description:
Pcbnew scripting console and external plugins fail with:
```
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<string>", line 5, in <module>

```

This is due to issue with python-wxpython 4.1.1-1 incompatibility with wxWidgets-3.0.5 still in the repos. See bug https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/70908.
As a workaround, downgrade to python-wxpython 4.0.7.2-5 fixes the kicad issue.

(Crosspost to make it findable for kicad users struggling as I did)
