kicadmenuitem.py

import wx

    print("heey")

def findPcbnewWindow():
    windows = wx.GetTopLevelWindows()
    title = "Pcbnew"
    pcbnew = filter(lambda w: w.GetTitle() == title, windows)
    if len(pcbnew) != 1:
        raise Exception("Cannot find pcbnew window from title matching!")
    return pcbnew[0]

def run():

    win = findPcbnewWindow()
    menuBar = win.MenuBar

    # add Macros menu item under Tools menu
    toolsMenu = menuBar.GetMenu(menuBar.FindMenu("Tools"))
    macrosMenuItem = toolsMenu.Append(wx.ID_ANY, "Macros")
    win.Bind(wx.EVT_MENU, showMacros)
