Import Error with packaged wxWidgets app

[Kenneth Bogert]

The following program:

import wx

app = wx.App(False) # Create a new app, don't redirect stdout/stderr to a window.
frame = wx.Frame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Hello World") # A Frame is a top-level window.
frame.Show(True) # Show the frame.
app.MainLoop()

when packaged with "packp3d -o test.p3d -r wx" produces the following error when run with panda3d:

I have wxWidgets 2.8 installed, application runs normally non-packaged.

[Kenneth Bogert (kbogert-uga)]

Identical behavior on OSX

[Craig Macomber (craigm)]

I have confirmed the issue in Panda 1.8 on Mac with a slightly simpler setup. I have also confirmed that it works correctly on windows.

The wx package is throwing an error on import!

Entire code in main.py: "import wx"

And a pdef file to build:
class Test(p3d):
    require('morepy','panda3d','wx')
    mainModule('main')

Yeah, it is. I didn't forget to upgrade it for Python 2.7. I don't understand; looking at the import.xml, everything is in place:
http://runtime.panda3d.org/wx/cmu_1.8/osx_i386/wx.cmu_1.8.osx_i386.import.xml

I'll need to investigate deeper.

[Dan Forsyth (danf)]

Hi Guys,

Having the same issue over here. wx.2.8.12.1, Panda-1.8.1, Windows 7 64bit. Doesn't look like there is much chatter on this lately. Perhaps anyone knows of a workaround with a different version of WX or Panada?

Thanks.

[rdb (rdb)]

Well, the wx-on-OSX issue is caused by an absolute path in the library dependency. That can't be the issue on Windows.

The wx version you have on your system doesn't really matter, actually. Panda ships its own version of wx that's packaged in https://runtime.panda3d.org/wx/cmu_1.8/win32/ and downloaded by the runtime when you run your game. There must be something wrong with that build.

You're not really giving a lot of information to go on, though. At the very least a console output would be helpful, but trying out some different ways of importing wx or wx-related modules would also be appreciated.

[Dan Forsyth (danf)]

Thanks for looking at this, it's appreciated.

I will first try a base WX program not my source and let you know the results.

What do you mean console output? You mean the output when I run the application right?

Well, I'll be damned. I put "import wx" into a file called main.py, ran
"packp3d -o test.p3d -r wx", ran the resulting test.p3d, and it failed at
"import wx". Hmm.

Thanks again for looking at this, you have made my Christmas. I really like your deployment system, you guys have done a great job with Panda3D.

Do you need me to check on anything over here?

Also, is there a place where I can send a donation to your team?

Hi Guys,

Just wondering if there is any timeline on this? Thanks!

[Dan Forsyth (danf)]

Tried to compile it with Panda3D 1.8.0 instead of 1.8.1, but seems like the same error. Just thought I would try. :-)

[rdb (rdb)]

packp3d is no longer supported in 1.10 (in favour of the new setuptools-based deployment system), so I'm closing this. Please file an issue on GitHub if the issue still persists with deploy-ng.
