You need to create a publisher and publish a geometry_msgs/Pose message.

#!/usr/bin/env python
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import Pose

def publisher():
    pub = rospy.Publisher('pose', Pose, queue_size=1)
    rospy.init_node('pose_publisher', anonymous=True)
    rate = rospy.Rate(2) # Hz
    while not rospy.is_shutdown():
        p = Pose()
        p.position.x = 0.5
        p.position.y = -0.1
        p.position.z = 1.0
        # Make sure the quaternion is valid and normalized
        p.orientation.x = 0.0
        p.orientation.x = 0.0
        p.orientation.x = 0.0
        p.orientation.w = 1.0
        pub.publish(p)
        rate.sleep()

    try:
        publisher()

        pass
