Any hope for using this with python? #201

Closed jwhendy closed 6 years ago

jwhendy commented 7 years ago

I'm going through the ROS-I tutorials, but translating to python. I got to this exercise and from my reading around, it's looking like this is currently C++ only. Is that correct?

Any forecast/desire to port or make accessible via python? I'm also pretty new to ROS in general, so perhaps there's a known way to use any ROS library with python?

Thanks.

If we wrote a ROS level interface, you could use Python. This would involve defining messages and services (or perhaps actions) that anyone could fill out and forward to a planning server node ala MoveIt.

I have trouble finding time and motivation to fix basic issues in C++, I have no desire to support more languages. I would not try to hold you back, however.
