Move ROS python packages to python3 #977

Open fnoop opened 4 years ago

fnoop commented 4 years ago

Currently the old python-ros / python-catkin packages are installed, and then /opt/ros/current/lib/python2.7 is added to PYTHONPATH, which works mostly even for python3.

Instead, install the corresponding python3 packages.

Possibly, look at ROS noetic support. Noetic officially fully supports python3, but is only supported on Ubuntu 20.04 / Debian 10/Buster.

Apparently catkin-tools is not maintained, we should move the build manifests from catkin to catkin_make_isolated or colcon. https://github.com/catkin/catkin_tools/issues/594

Moved everything to (maverick) python3, even the build of ROS
Moved native package installs of the supporting build tools to pip (rosdep, rosinstall, catkin etc)
Changed default ros_comm build to robot - a more comprehensive non-UI build
Fixed and tested source builds of mavros, cv_bridge (to maverick opencv), realsense and apriltag

Also update ROS2 to be fully python3, and update to latest version.
