// If it wasn't found, resolve the filename and search for that.
Filename resolved = filename;
if (!resolved.resolve_filename(get_model_path())) {

x11display_cat.warning() << "Could not find cursor filename " << filename << "\n";
return None;
Some lines below, it’s calling the vfs. But in this part they are no reference to vfs (so it returns None and so it stops here the cursor loading)… is Filename module knowing the vfs ? I’m not sure of this… The resolve_filename() and exists() methods always return ‘False’ on my cursor pathname.
My cursor file is in the package (according to the result of ‘multify -vfs mypackage.mf’).
So, am I missing somethings ? Is it a panda3d strange behavior ? A is it a bug ? May I have to extract my cursor files outside the vfs ?
Thanks for your answers.
Great! Could you share your .pdef file, so that I can fix the tk package properly?
You can add extract=True as parameter to file() in the pdef file, this will make Panda automatically extract the file when running the p3d.
The Filename module is a low-level module that uses OS calls, and is not aware of the VFS. I’ve changed the code to use vfs->resolve_filename(resolved, get_model_path()) instead, just checked it into CVS.
Aaarg, the ‘extract’ keyword is so magic ! I have done all the work by myself without expecting this…
So ok, now it works in the “panda3d” way.
Here is the pdef of tk :
class tk(package):
config(display_name = "Tk GUI Toolkit")
require('panda3d')
module('Tkinter', required = True)
module('direct.showbase.TkGlobal', 'direct.tkpanels', 'direct.tkwidgets')
file(Filename(os.environ["PATH_PYTHON_LIB"]+"../tcl/tcl8.5", "*.tcl"), newDir = "tcl8.5", extract = True)
file(Filename(os.environ["PATH_PYTHON_LIB"]+"../tcl/tcl8.5", "tclIndex"), newDir = "tcl8.5", extract = True)
file(Filename(os.environ["PATH_PYTHON_LIB"]+"../tcl/tk8.5", "*.tcl"), newDir = "tk8.5", extract = True)
file(Filename(os.environ["PATH_PYTHON_LIB"]+"../tcl/tk8.5/ttk", "*.tcl"), newDir = "tk8.5/ttk", extract = True)
packager.setHost('http://127.0.0.1/packages/')
Actually os.environ[“PATH_PYTHON_LIB”] point to the python lib hold by panda3d sdk.
Also I didn’t use the dir() inclusion for 2 reasons :
1 - I suspect dir() directive to exclude files that doesn’t match predifined extensions (.png, .jpg, …).
2 - The files included with the file() directive seems sufficient for my usage of tk.
After that I setup os.environ[“TCL_LIBRARY”] and os.environ[“TK_LIBRARY”] to where tk8.5 and tcl8.5 were extracted.
Also thanks for your support and the correction on the CVS.
Last questions : Is resolve_filename will search into each mounted filetree ? What about PNMImage ? According to the panda3d texture loader, it should search through the mounted filetree I think.
Thanks again for all your help and your efforts to decrypt my (really not perfect) english.
Thank you. That only works on Windows, so I’ve added this to the section in thirdparty.pdef instead:
from Tkinter import Tcl
dir = Filename.fromOsSpecific(Tcl().eval("info library"))
file(Filename(dir, "*.tcl"), extract = True)
It seems to work on my Mac. I’ve checked it into CVS and it will be in the upcoming 1.8.1 release.
resolve_filename, if passed get_model_path(), will search in the model path. Package directories (like the “tk” package directory when mounted) are automatically added to the model path when the package is loaded.
If you want to add custom directories to the model path, use getModelPath().appendDirectory or prependDirectory. Again, this is not necessary if the files are located in a p3d package.
Alternatively, you can also specify directories to add to the model-path in your Config.prc file, using an instruction like:
model-path $MAIN_DIR/icons
($MAIN_DIR refers to the directory containing the main application file, eg main.py.)
Or, create your own DSearchPath with your own directories and pass that to resolveFilename.
. I have packaged those tcl files and extracted them at runtime… It works but it’s maybe done in an ugly way…
