Include Resource file (xml, txt, prc ...) with ppackage

General Discussion
1

I use ppackage to create p3d package:

“ppackage -i ./ myapp.pdef”

import sys, os
cwd = os.getcwd()
sys.path.append(cwd) 
sys.path.append("/usr/lib/python2.7")


class MyP3D(p3d):
    require('panda3d')
 
    config( 
        version="0.0", 
        display_name="MyP3D") 

    module('xml')
    mainModule('Test')
    file(os.path.join(cwd, 'config/config.xml')) # try with static address
    file('event.txt') # try with dynamic address

but in “start” directory in the runtime Panda directory, I can’t find config folder with config file and txt file.
How to fix it ?

I want to read these file at runtime !

They are embedded in the .p3d files, and mounted through the virtual file system. You should be able to load it without problems, since Panda registers hooks for the VFS into Python’s open() system.

If you need to use some other type of API that does not respect the Panda VFS, then you can pass extract=True to the file() call to have the file extracted to disk whenever you run it.

I have a directory called “scripts” contains python files for dynamic loading.
I got some error with modulefinder when use dir() call:

How to add it the my pdef file ?
