setup.py thinks I don't have panda3d installed?

Hi, first off this looks amazing, thanks for making it, I can't wait to use it.

Edit:

Operating System: Arch Linux

I'm having trouble getting started though. I've compiled and installed panda3d at ~/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages (the git version found here: https://github.com/panda3d/panda3d)

setup.py 'asks' whether panda3d is installed by:

    try:
        from panda3d.core import NodePath
    except ImportError:
        print("\n")
        print("Could not import Panda3D modules! Please make sure they are ")
        print("on your path, and you are using the correct python version!")
        error("Failed to import Panda3D modules")

With the version of panda installed from git, I don't have panda3d.core.NodePath ...

I compiled using this:

export DESTDIR=/home/roman/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/
export PYTHONPATH=/usr/bin/python3 
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/roman/.local/lib/python3.6/site-packages/

python makepanda/makepanda.py --everything --installer --no-egl --no-gles --no-gles2 --no-opencv --threads=16

python makepanda/makewheel.py
python makepanda/installpanda.py

How should I compile panda3d to get NodePath so that I can use render_pipeline?

Thank you

Edit:

Here's output for setup.py

$ python setup.py

Render Pipeline Setup 1.3

[ 01 ]  Checking Panda3D Modules

Could not import Panda3D modules! Please make sure they are 
on your path, and you are using the correct python version!

Setup failed:    Failed to import Panda3D modules

Please fix the above errors and then restart the setup.

Closing,

This was due to an incorrectly installed panda3d... If you check the PKGBUILD at: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/panda3d-git/

You can see the it's labeled as 1.9xx but actually the PKGBUILD just installs the latest git version of Panda3D from github. So... on Arch Linux just install panda3d-git then run render_pipeline/setup.py

My bad.

To whom it may concern. Check rules at /usr/lib/python*.*/site-packages/panda3d directory, they must be 755. If others can't read them, then you can't import module's content and error described above still occurs.

Especially if you alter default value of umask in /etc/profile in stronger direction.
