When building a distributable version of a program, it’s standard, I daresay, to include various plugins via the “plugins” keyword to setuptools. (e.g. “p3openal_audio”, or “pandagl”.)
Is there a way to see what versions of those plugins are available, or to set which versions are to be used in the build…?
It may just be that I’m tired this morning, but I’m not seeing where they’re drawn from, and it’s not clear to me whether their version can be set in the “requirements.txt” file or the “setup.py” script…
They are in the web storage (probably here https://archive.panda3d.org), setuptools downloads them, relying on the Panda3D and Python versions. However, you cannot select other versions because they are linked by the compiler that was used to build Panda3D.
That’s not so, the plug-ins aren’t downloaded, they are included in the .whl of panda3d itself.
Sorry to say that there is no such centralised list. Honestly, the list accepts any .so file or .dll in the Panda wheel (with “lib” prefixed). My attempt to produce a complete list (availability depends on build configuration):
Ah! That’s actually even better, from my standpoint: knowing the version of the wheel thus gives an implicit (even if not defined) version for the plugins!
