Try to import panda3d in python

What is the expected behavior?

No response

System information

[twaik]

For some reason panda3d package does not contain python-related stuff, only C/C++ headers and libraries. Should be investigated.

@milen-prg you are welcome to test build artifacts from https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/actions/runs/11433861257

@milen-prg you are welcome to test build artifacts from https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/actions/runs/11433861257

Thanks. How to test the new version, upgrading of the system didn't help.

[twaik]

Upgrading system should not. Because these changes are not merged. Download build artifacts and install them with apt like apt install ./package.deb (point and slash are necessary).

Why are you installing arm version? Most likely your device is aarch64...

@twaik , I apologise, I'm python developer and know little about Linux system. Here it is, no difference with the new packages:

How to force to use the deb files instead of the repo packages? The apt works exactly as the pkg

[twaik]

1. Please, use code syntax (triple backtics). Otherwise markdown breaks layout.
2. What is direct? It does not seem to be a part of panda3d package. Did you install it with pip3?
3. No need to force deb installation. Packages will be available in repos when we done here.

Direct is from the main panda3d example for python:

https://docs.panda3d.org/1.10/python/introduction/tutorial/starting-panda3d

As I see, the apt installs the packages from the repo, not the files:

No, it installed debs.

Oh, I see. But the panda3d modules can't be imported in python ☹️.

[twaik]

Probably we should do full panda building, but it will require moving panda3d to x11-repo.
Also panda3d's window will not appear without X server running.

[milen-prg]

I tried it directly in the working xfce4 environment via VNC.
The raylib works for example.
