problem
after plugin invocation, KiCad leaves tombstone process
which must be killed manually by os task manager
workaround
start scripting console before plugin invocation:

Pcbnew -> Tools -> Scripting Console

solution
kicad should automatically provision global wx.App instance by default,
similar to how it is done in kicad_pyshell
https://git.launchpad.net/kicad/tree/pcbnew/python/kicad_pyshell/__init__.py#n92

See https://bugs.launchpad.net/kicad/+bug/1827742

further ideas by @qu1ck :

use wx.PostEvent to resolve wx.App/wx.CallAfter problem
