launch file and entrypoint to launch pyros server rosnode #107

Open asmodehn opened 7 years ago

asmodehn commented 7 years ago

My main current usecase is to launch pyros from rostful.

However launching via the python context is impractical in many other cases :

from ROS, a user wants to roslaunch a node to start pyros
from shell, a user wants to run a shell script (entrypoint) to start pyros
from inside a python interpreter, launching only the server would also be useful. and these would be really helpful for debugging as well.

So :

[ ] implement entry point to a script to launch pyros (maybe only in ROS version if we split ?)
[ ] implement launch file to start server (via entrypoint script)
[ ] move the contextmanager for pyros client to the only user at the moment (rostful), and only if pyros is not already started...

This probably require a way for the client node to :

"discover" the pyros node in order to establish communication.
connect to a well known (ZMQ) uri. Check https://github.com/asmodehn/pyzmp/issues/5 for more details...
