Here is a short example of using bitmasks to selectively test collisions against different object in the scene:
from direct.showbase.ShowBase import ShowBase
from direct.showbase.DirectObject import DirectObject
from direct.gui.OnscreenText import OnscreenText, TextNode
from pandac.PandaModules import CollisionTraverser
from pandac.PandaModules import CollisionHandlerQueue, CollisionNode, BitMask32

# Create a traverser that Panda3D will automatically use every frame.

# Create a handler for the events.
self.collHandler = CollisionHandlerQueue()
# Define a few bitmasks for use.
# Teaching the concepts of bitmasks is out of the scope of this sample.
# This just shows a practical application of bitmasks.
goodMask = BitMask32(0x1)
badMask = BitMask32(0x2)
floorMask = BitMask32(0x4)
# Make a list of different combinations of the masks for later use.
# We will switch between these masks later on.
self.maskList = [
["floor", floorMask],
["smiley", goodMask],
["frowney", badMask],

# collision solid and adding the same solid to both collision nodes.

# setCollideMask() sets the into mask of all child nodes to the given mask.
frowneyCollisionNP.setCollideMask(badMask)
# Note that we don't call setCollideMask() from frowney because this
# will turn the frowney mesh into a collision mesh which is unwanted.
