The game depends on Panda3d. Panda3d installs its own version of python, but to run the map converter and other helper tools in the repo you will need python >= 2.7 installed on your system.
Panda3d installer links: Windows, Mac, Linux (Ubuntu).
Mac users also need the NVidia CG toolkit. Mac users may also need an X11 Server if one is not installed.
In Ubuntu 12.04, the oneiric version of Panda3d will complain about 2 unmet dependencies during installation. Download and install the missing packages from here and retry installation.
The python script map_test.py must be run with the ppython command (provided by Panda3d) inside the source directory.
