KiCad 9 PCBnew Script: Duplicate Footprint Along a Drawing Path
Author: LeoDJ

Disclaimer: Dirtily hacked together and partly vibe coded. 
I've tried to use the attached prompt, but the result was shit, I had to fix many logic mistakes / API hallucinations. Probably would've been faster to actually write it completely myself.

Usage:
- Save this script as footprint_path_placer.py besides the .kicad_pro file

This is more of a note to myself / a try to give the problem a bit more SEO visibility, so please excuse the probably weird writing style and structure.

tl;dr at the bottom

• .PL extension is for "PrinterLeaf" files
  • They start with the magic bytes D0 4F 50 53 (ÐOPS)
  • Commonly contain header strings like:
    For: / Printed on: / From book: / Document: / Last saved on:
Name: / Ausgedruckt: / Aus dem Buch: / Dokument: / Zuletzt gespeichert:
• And for my test file they contained references to font files like:
