kicommand in KiCAD 5.1

I've tried 'import kicommand' in the script window but I'm having problems with not finding 'CPolyLine' and kicommand doesn't import. This is what I get:

import kicommand
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\scripting\plugins/kicommand/init.py", line 2, in
from .kicommand import *
File "C:\Program Files\KiCad\share\kicad\scripting\plugins/kicommand/kicommand.py", line 1543, in
def newzone(points, netname, layer, CPolyLine=pcbnew.CPolyLine.NO_HATCH, priority=0):
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'CPolyLine'

I want to put text into a Cu layer. How do I get this to work?

In OSX kicommand folder must be located in two locations by default

To get the plugin to run I had to place the folder in both '/Applications/Kicad/kicad.app/Contents/SharedSupport/scripting/plugins' and a folder that I created in '/Users/username/kicad'.
