I don't have that module either, but it does run, logging this in the
terminal screen I ran it from:
gene@coyote:~/bin/pycam-master$ scripts/pycam
Enabled 4 parallel local processes
Skipping
plugin /home/gene/bin/pycam-master/pycam/Plugins/PathParameters.py
(broken or dependencies missing)
*** skipped 2 similar message(s) ***
Font directory: /home/gene/bin/pycam-master/share/fonts
Imported STL model: 0 vertices, 0 edges, 1444 triangles
And the control screens path generation options are all greyed out.
It does display the "PYCAM" nameplate, but its a poorer visual than I
recall from it a decade back. IIRC I had something called pycam I'd
pulled in back when I was running ubuntu-6-4 lts.
