This resolves https://github.com/elephantrobotics/mycobot_ros/issues/37

Thank you, but is it possible / needed to keep support Python 2.7 ?

fedorenchik commented 3 years ago

Anyway, I've merged since it fixes #37.

apockill commented 3 years ago

It's probably best to drop 2.7 support, given that it's no longer maintained. Is there any specific reason to use 2.7?

fedorenchik commented 3 years ago

@apockill I guess can drop python 2.7 unless there will be user requests to keep it.

kinetic and melodic use python 2.7 and melodic is still the most popular ROS distro https://metrics.ros.org/packages_rosdistro.html and kinetic has most packages https://metrics.ros.org/rosdistro_numberofrepos.html

Got it, thank you for the explanation. I'm not an expert with ROS yet :grin:

Here's hoping the ecosystem moves to python 3+!
