I tried adding to my bash_profile file:

alias python2='python2.7'

but no luck. I can run Panda3d samples using both python and ppython at the terminal.

I also have a panda3d.pth file in /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages with:

/Developer/Panda3D
/Developer/Panda3D/bin

Thanks rdb, creating a symlink did the trick!

ln -s $(which ppython) /usr/local/bin/python2

[Moguri]

Reopening this. The symlink is a work-around, and I should address the root issue of BlenderPanda not detecting the correct Python binary to use.

[Moguri]

This should now be fixed with 5fd355131135a406431398471a1fa1a9b9331cb7. Can you try deleting your symlink (/usr/local/bin/python2) and trying again with this new commit? You will want to run Update Project from Blender in the Render properties. This updates the blenderpanda module in your project directory. However, keep in mind that this will wipe out any changes you have to the pman.py in your project directory.

With 4b05236e7a78c4e6012067917c8a00b2b6adfbaa you should be able to revert your arg hacks. Check the commit log or #12 for information on how to use this new feature.
