Missing python3 operators overloading?

Scripting Issues
1

I’m trying to port my code to Python 3, but it seems some features are still lacking. The following code work fine :

from panda3d.core import LVector3
print LVector3.unitX() / 2

It returns :

LVector3f(0.5, 0, 0)

But in Python3 (or with __future__), I get the following error:

TypeError: unsupported operand type(s) for /: 'panda3d.core.LVector3f' and 'int'

In Python3 you need to overload __truediv__ and __floordiv__ in order to be able to use the ‘/’ operator and when I print the LVector3 dict there is no mention of these methods :

print LVector3.__dict__

Am I missing something ?

It works for me in Python 3.7:

>>> LVector3(1, 2, 3) / 2.0
LVector3f(0.5, 1, 1.5)
>>> LVector3(1, 2, 3) / 2
LVector3f(0.5, 1, 1.5)

Which Python and Panda3D versions are you using to test that?

3

Default python on Mac :

$ python --version
Python 2.7.10

And Panda3D freshly compiled from the branch release/1.10.x

4

Rectification: it happens only in python2 with

from __future__ import division

I used the wrong terminal to test with python3, with python3.7 it works fine (and the overloaded operators are indeed in __dict__)

Ah, yeah. It looks like we’re using a compile-time Python version check to switch which division method we are implementing. Please open an issue on GitHub requesting interrogate to support the division future in Python 2.
