How to install ROS melodic configured with Python 3 on Jetson Nano #35

I followed the instructions in your readme but the ROS installation using python 2.x I want ROS to run with Python 3.6. How can I make that happen? Please help me. It's surprisingly that there's not much resources about this online.

Hi @sandeepmittal, after some investigation it appears that you would need to re-compile ROS to make it use Python 3.6 - https://www.miguelalonsojr.com/blog/robotics/ros/python3/2019/08/20/ros-melodic-python-3-build.html

It appears that the default builds of ROS1 are built with support for Python 2.x only.
