Revision history [back]

rospy is not designed to be used in an interactive shell. It is possible to restart a rospy process but it's not part of the public documented API.

Ken developed rosh as a prototype of an python based interactive environment for interacting with ROS. Dan seems to be maintaining a fork but it's not actively developed anymore.
