In Kicad 5, the '.pos' file format appears to have changed and is no longer possible to import it directly using your script. The original format (from the Freewatch project) appears to be in the following form;

Ref    Val                  Package         PosX       PosY        Rot     Side
C14      100nF            Capacitors_SMD:c  106.3036  -107.7576     270.0    B.Cu
C18      10pF             Capacitors_SMD:c  108.0780  -101.9337       0.0    B.Cu

Under Kicad 5, the pos file is now exportable as either a .csv file (in the following format)

Ref,Val,Package,PosX,PosY,Rot,Side
"C1","470nF","C_0805_2012Metric",8.255000,-27.940000,0.000000,top
"C2","47uF","CP_Elec_5x5.3",20.193000,-22.098000,270.000000,top

or as an 'ascii' format (which more closely approximates the original format with some extra header lines).

Two further points of note;

• The names of the exported layers seem to have changed from the names of the copper layers to either 'top' or 'bottom'.

• The working precision for rotation is now 6dp for the cvs format and 4dp for the ascii format. The original formal was 4dp only and 1dp only for rotation.

even after fixing the file naming issues and the mix of tabs and spaces I can't get it to process the position file.
