Compiling on OSX (10.11) with non-system Python

I think you can comment out the offending line in makepanda.py that copies these files:

        oscmd("cp -R %s/*.so                  dstroot/pythoncode/Developer/Panda3D/" % GetOutputDir())

I’ll look into checking in a fix for this.

Without building an installer, you can also run Panda straight from the “built” directory. Just point your PYTHONPATH environment variable to the “built” directory generated by makepanda, and that should be sufficient to run your programs.
