I'm starting to learn to use rqt. When I tried to launch the Process Monitor plugin, I got a traceback with "ImportError: No module named socket". The issue was "from xmlrpclib.socket import error" in /opt/ros/kinetic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/rqt_top/node_info.py.

I replaced it with "import xmlrpclib" and "error = xmlrpclib.socket.error". That seems to work.

$ echo "from xmlrpclib.socket import error" | python Traceback (most recent call last): File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module> ImportError: No module named socket

That looks like a bug, please file it here: https://github.com/ros-visualization/... or even better a pull request to fix it would help get it released sooner.
