Third Party Release of Python Package

edit

Hello,

Since I have a lot of python dependencies to manage, and I don't want to maintain all of the fork of these repositories just to add a file, I am currently experimenting with Third Party Release ( on indigo ), which is conceptually what I am trying to do anyway. http://wiki.ros.org/bloom/Tutorials/R...

I am using a simple and stable python package for a first try : https://github.com/marshmallow-code/m...

I managed to get my patches into the release repo, and do a bloom release properly : https://github.com/asmodehn/marshmall...

However it seems that catkin_make does something strange with the setup.py:

-- ==> add_subdirectory(marshmallow-rosrelease)

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!

As a side note, running python setup.py install works fine, and even running build/marshmallow-rosrelease/catkin_generated/python_distutils_install.sh seems to work fine.

Thanks for any hint on what might be going wrong there. Also if there is a third party release of a pip package that works somewhere, please point me to it so I can compare...

Cheers
