How I can change the priority of a node written y python?

Im working with the kinect and a haptic device to be used in the chest of a person, after I get the information about the distance of the object and some processing I want to send it through the serial port to the haptic devic, I realized that I have some delays, so I want to change the priority of xecution of the node or some portion of the node ( written in python) in order to get a behavior close to real time.

Could you explain what you mean by "priority" and what you're trying to accomplish?

So you want one node to run before another?

You could use the launch-prefix flag in a .launch file, with a value something like "nice -n -1" (nice being the UNIX command for setting priority).

However, this feels very much like an XY Problem to me; can you edit the question to explain in more detail what you're trying to do? Using nice is a hack; there's probably a better answer.
