Alternatives to packaging p3d and yet another package bug.

Scripting Issues
1

I am starting to regret using panda3d just because I can not get the package system to work. I don’t know if it is me, ppackage and packp3d, or documentation, but I have spent too long just trying to get a working p3d for distribution. Is there any alternatives?

And now for the next issue involving the numpy package.

Did you specify -r numpy to packp3d when you generated the p3d file in the first place?

In defense of the p3d system, remember that this is a brand new release of an very complex system. And the fact that your own application was already written for the previous system, and is itself fairly complex, doesn’t make it easier. :slight_smile: There are bound to be some unexpected difficulties still be to discovered.

Oh. Well in this case it was an error of me :smiley:

I was mostly venting frustration, mostly from my inability at making working packages with ppackage. I also don’t want to be one of those annoying people who always asks for help. As a teacher I know what a pain those kinds of students can be :slight_smile:

No worries. Be sure you are also alert to the danger of overly frustrating yourself over an issue that could easily be solved by asking for help. :slight_smile:
