Revision history [back]

This package is a normal python package that works fine with pip and other python tools. It s not a new module made especially for ROS.

As it turns out I investigated a bit, and I saw this in interrogate_setup_dot_py.py in catkin :

with open(args.setupfile_path, 'r') as fh:
    exec(fh.read())

And I also found this : http://bugs.python.org/issue16781

I ll make a PR in catkin for this soon, so that we can interrogate a usual setup.py with something like :

execfile(fh,{})
