MOOS new python interface #752

Closed msis closed 7 years ago

msis commented 7 years ago

What is the best practice to update a middleware?

MOOS has now an official interface for python and I want to contribute with a new interface to MORSE, but afraid if I replace the existing one by @davidhodo through a PR, it might ruin legacy code.

Should we have a MOOS2 (or even MOOSv10 as the creator likes to call it) interface in this case?

severin-lemaignan commented 7 years ago

@msis Great to know that MOOS is still used! What kind of breakages do you expect? would this change fundamentally how MORSE interact with MOOS?

I let @davidhodo comment, but if the current user base for MOOS is small (as I suspect), then I would favour just replacing the current implementation with the official moos-python bindings. Carrying over legacy code is not really my cup of tea unless we have solid reasons to do so.

In MOOSv10, asynchronous communication with the MOOSDB which allows having callbacks for different messages in addition to the traditional way of getting mail implemented here.

I will be replacing the docs too all along.

I am no longer using MOOS with Morse. I'm not sure anyone is maintaining the pyMOOS bindings either. I think replacing the current implementation with something MOOSv10 compatible is the way to go.

Ok, thanks @davidhodo for the feedback. @msis please go ahead with a PR, then!

Hi guys! I finally had some time to finish the migration and create the PR #757 .
