PackPanda Woes from a Newbie

General Discussion

Disclaimer: I’m a newbie!

I made a very simple main.py file that has the following text:

I ran packpanda --dir hw and got this back:

Can someone please tell me what’s happening here? Much appreciated!

It is a bug with 1.5.3. Install 1.5.2 or try to fix it:

Open “Your Panda3D Directory”/direct/src/directscripts/packpanda.py

There is a function CompileFiles. Replace every occurence of “string” with “file”. Afterwards the function looks like:

def CompileFiles(file):
    if (os.path.isfile(file)):
        if (string.endswith(".egg")):
            egg2bam(file, file[:-4]+'.bam')
        elif (string.endswith(".egg.pz")):
            egg2bam(file, file[:-7]+'.bam')
        elif (string.endswith(".py")):
            py2pyc(file)
        else: pass
    elif (os.path.isdir(file)):
        for x in os.listdir(file):
            CompileFiles(os.path.join(file, x))

Thanks for your prompt response! It’s working now. :slight_smile:

Glad I could help.

Just seen another fancy thing. The comment in this file includes the following line:

“NSIS, the netscape scriptable install system”

IMO

NSIS is the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (nsis.sourceforge.net) from Nullsoft. They have nothing in common with Netscape.

Thanks, just fixed this in the cvs.
And yeah, someone was definitely confused with NSPR somehow when writing this code :slight_smile:

I feel better now. When I got that error on such a simple example I initially thought it was me doing something wrong. Thought I was losing my marbles. :open_mouth:
