Remap client name for dynamic reconfigure

For setting up a dynamic reconfigure client I need to specify the name of the node I like to reconfigure, e.g. in Python:

self._client = dynamic_reconfigure.client.Client(some_node_name)

Now, I'd like to remap some_node_name in my roslaunch file to make it easy to use in different contexts, e.g.

<launch>
  <node pkg="my_package" type="my_node.py" name="my_node" >
    <remap from="some_node_name" to="special_node_name"/>
  </node>
</launch>

However, this doesn't work. So far I only managed to modify some_node_name via parameters.

Is there a way to remap the node name of the dynamic reconfigure client?

I had to do this via a param not a remap.

Here is how I did it.

launch file

    <launch>
       <node name="pickable_object_detector" pkg="tensorflow_ros_tanooki" type="pickable_objects_detector_service.py" output="screen"> 
          <param name="recfg_name" value="$(arg recfg_remap)"/>
       </node>
    </launch>

python node

recfg_name = rospy.get_param('~recfg_name')
client = dynamic_reconfigure.client.Client(recfg_name, timeout=30)
