It looks as though I’m building with Python 2.7.12
I have no idea why it’s there, I’m afraid–it’s not something that I’ve made a point of adding, as far as I’m aware.
As to removing it, what is it’s purpose in Panda3D–what might I be losing if I remove it?
Oh, one thing that I perhaps forgot to mention: I think that I recall reading somewhere that the “path” variable may be empty in the case of built-in methods–as I think that this was indicated to be when I had Python “print” the module. I’m not sure of whether this applies to Python 2.7 or 3, however.
