Python footprint-wizards cause exception on Windows 10 64-Bit

[Mario Ursino]

Opening any footprint wizard causes the attached exception.

Steps to make it happen:

KiCad -> Footprint library editor -> New footprint using footprint wizard -> Select wizard script to run -> *Choose any option* -> OK

Similar bug was posted and apparently fixed here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1784475

Platform is Windows 10 - 64 bit although it's said to be 8 in the version info.
