I’m running the BVWPandatutorial. In the prompt I get the message
" no files found matching C:\Panda*\src\configfiles*.pth"
" Check $PLAYER or your starting directory."
Apperently I did not set the path right.
How do I set the path right in the C:\Panda\Config.prc file?
How do I make a new directory to do the tutorials in?
I named my first file ‘window.py’ . This is apparantly also illegal because
it has already being used in the source coude, and might give conflicts
with the namespaces?
The startup warning message is bogus and can be completely ignored. It’s caused by an extra file in the distribution which should have been removed, but accidentally was not; you can make the warning message go away by removing C:\Panda\direct\src\showbase\sitecustomize.py and C:\Panda\direct\src\showbase\sitecustomize.pyc.
You can make any directory a scratch directory. You can either run ppython from that directory, or add it to the directories listed in the environment variable PYTHONPATH. I don’t know any reason why you shouldn’t create a file called window.py; there shouldn’t be a problem with conflicts between files you create and other files that are already part of the Panda system, since the names are fully scoped.
