Hi all,

The documentation says roslib.packages is deprecated and lets know that rospkg is the new stable API. However I can't find the equivalent methods in rospkg, what are the new get_pkg_dir(), find_resource() ...?

Thanks

Here's a snippet that uses rospkg instead of roslib to get a package path:

import rospkg
rospack = rospkg.RosPack()
rospack.get_path('beginner_tutorials')

Here's the documentation for the RosPack class http://docs.ros.org/independent/api/r... . I'm unaware of a replacement for find_resource()

Thanks for the snippet, it works! Hope there will be an equivalent, this method is really handy.
