no wx package for panda3d 1.8

General Discussion
1

Im building an application using wxpython and there appears to be no linux runtime for 64 bit linux (32 bit linux also) at https://runtime.panda3d.org/wx/cmu_1.8/. I am currently trying to build panda3d 1.8 with wx support so that I can create a wx package on my own but I am encountering some issues doing so. Any advice for doing this? or can a package for wx be placed on runtime site?

So I have been trying for the last few days to get this to work and I can not seem to get it to do so…When I run the following

panda3d ../../../building/ppackage.p3d -i ../../../packages/ /home/builder/panda_source/panda3d-1.8.1/built/direct/p3d/thirdparty.pdef wx

I get the following:

:AppRunner: Total Panda3D disk space used: 180 MB
:AppRunner: Configured max usage is: 2048 MB
:Packager: Reading /home/builder/panda_source/panda3d-1.8.1/built/direct/p3d/thirdparty.pdef
couldn't import wx
Unknown module: wx
There are some missing modules: ['ElementPath', 'direct.showbase.LerpBlendHelpers', 'libdirect', 'panda3d.core', 'panda3d.direct', 'wx.glcanvas', 'wx.lib.agw']
:Packager(warning): Cannot build package wx, missing required modules: ['wx']
Failed to construct wx on line 37 of /home/builder/panda_source/panda3d-1.8.1/built/direct/p3d/thirdparty.pdef

I do have wxpython installed from apt and I compile panda using:

python makepanda/makepanda.py --nothing --use-direct --use-wx --use-python

All I need is to get a wx package that will install using 1.8.1…Any help?

Since ppackage runs in the Panda3D runtime and not your system Python installation, you would need to make sure that you have a compatible build of Python 2.7 on your system and manually add the path to the wx modules to sys.path at the top of thirdparty.pdef.

However, the lack of wx package for Panda3D is a bug that should be reported in the bug tracker.

Thanks for the advice, I will go and submit a bug report.

I have tried adding wx to the sys.path by doing:

sys.path.append('/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode')

and this is what I got:

couldn't import direct.wxwidgets
couldn't import wx

I feel like im missing something really simple but I cant figure it out.
