Hmm… well, older versions of Panda3D didn’t have the panda3d namespace, so if you ran through it before, then you probably imported pandac.PandaModules.Point3. Though, if you’re using Panda3D 1.7, then I haven’t a clue as to why it wouldn’t recognise the panda3d namespace. You’re sure you’re using Panda3D 1.7? Also, what happens if you replace that line with this one?
Well, I guess I “think” I’m running 1.7 for the reason that I have an earlier version on my computer that I was working with awhile back, but since I’m jumping back into it I decided to install the newest sdk. So since I installed the newest sdk I assumed that it would replace the old paths (at least I hoped it would). So that when I ran the code python would automatically use 1.7
Yeah your code you suggested worked, thanks your a life saver.
What can i type into command prompt to show what version of panda3d that python is trying to use?
Normally, you choose which version of Python you’re running based on the particular python.exe that you run to get things started. If you just type “python” or “ppython”, then it depends on which one is first on your PATH variable, so you can edit your PATH variable to put the one you want first.
But if you want to be sure you’re not using an old version of Panda, the easiest way is just to uninstall all the versions except the one you actually want to use.
I switched the order around in the path and that fixed it. But then i just decided that I might as well get rid of it if I’m never going to use it again (that I know of haha)
Thanks for the great help. I think everything is solved here!
for panda 1.7.0 the import panda3d.core lines are the new and recommendet way of importing. keeping the manual up to date with the latest version of panda sorta makes it hard to include the old names,too.
if you are still using 1.6.x releasese you can have a look at the old api doc which still contains all the “old” import lines: panda3d.org/apiref.php?page=classes
Since I am new to Panda3D, please tell me which is the newer line of code… and does that mean when I upgrade to 1.7, will I then have to change lines of code, or are they backwards compatable?
The panda3d.core line is newer, and will only work with Panda3D 1.7.x and above. The pandac.PandaModules line is the old way, but it will still work in 1.7.x.
