rospy.init_node anonymous argument can't be forced #1460

Open machinekoder opened 6 years ago

machinekoder commented 6 years ago

Thanks to https://github.com/ros/ros_comm/blob/melodic-devel/clients/rospy/src/rospy/client.py#L290-L295 the anonymous argument of rospy.init_node is always overwritten by roslaunch. This is in particular problematic when creating a ROS node inside a Python process.

I suggest adding a force_anonymous argument to init_node for these (probably rare) cases where node anonymity is wanted, regardless of the roslaunch configuration.
