NameError: name 'base' is not defined

Can anyone please help me?

Ive downloaded panda3d-1.0.1.exe and installed Panda3D under Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600].
I included C:\Panda3D-1.0.1\lib;C:\Panda3D-1.0.1\lib\Py;C:\Panda3D-1.0.1\direct\src\showbase in my PYTHONPATH.

When I cd to C:\Panda3D-1.0.1\SceneEditor> and run ppython sceneEditor.py I get

enumerate is already present in builtin
Warning: DirectNotify: category ‘Messenger’ already exists
Warning: DirectNotify: category ‘Interval’ already exists
Warning: DirectNotify: category ‘EventManager’ already exists
Traceback (most recent call last):

File “C:\Panda3D-1.0.1\direct\src\showbase\ShowBaseGlobal.py”, line 11, in ?
assert(base)
NameError: name ‘base’ is not defined

where have I been stupid?

Thanks in advance.

This seems to be a problem with the sceneEditor code - not your mistake.

The sceneEditor that has been released with this version of Panda seems to be old. This is something that should be changed in the next release.

Try something in the samples directory. I don’t have an install of Panda with me at the moment however running any of the samples in the same way should work.

Thanks. Yes most of the samples seamed to work.

Would you know when the new version with a working sceneEditor is due?

Thanks again.

Infact is there anyway I could get hold of the current sceneEditor.
Ive just been watching the tutorial videos and it looks really fun.
Thanks
