It happens when opening the python console from Eeschema.
In this case, and on msys2, Pgm() returns a null pointer because the pcbnew
application is not initialized, and the first call to Pgm()
from a python script crashes Kicad
18.04 and earlier use wxPython 4.0.1 that doesn't have the new Id call.
This wraps the id to use the earlier version if the newer one is not
available

They don't define a KiCad string class, so the header file name was
somewhat misleading. But the fact that they didn't match definitely
made coding more difficult.
wxString::Format is redundant in a wxLogXXX call.
Error messages should generally be translatable.
Error messages should use generally consistent sentence forms.
Action plugin authors can specify alternative icon path for dark theme.
If it's not specified then standard icon will be used for both light and
dark themes. If neither icon is specified then the default puzzle piece
icon is used.
Fixes#7984
First issue: the C++ action plugins list should be cleared so that any
plugins that fail to reload do not hang around on the toolbar.
This is fixed on the C++ side.
Second issue: inner dependencies of plugins that are modules were not
reloaded before, which broke reloading for many plugin examples out there.
This is fixed on the Python side by keeping track of dependencies and
clearing them out before reloading a module (unfortunately there doesn't
seem to be a way to do this in the standard library)
