Can't import rospy

Hello,

I have a ROS aplication in Python and Qt, and when I run it from the terminal all is ok, but I try to run with double click (the script with the permissions and Nautilus configuration appropriate) and the aplication can't import rospy.

I use ROS Indigo and Ubuntu 14.04.

Any idea? thanks!

rospy is not on the default PYTHONPATH, and so without sourcing the appropriate /opt/ros/$distro/setup.* script won't be resolvable for Python. It's probable that by 'double clicking', the environment is not properly setup, leading to the problems you describe.

As gvdhoorn sais, the environment wasn't setup.

This link help me: http://unix.stackexchange.com/questio...

I have put the ros variable enviroment in a new file ~/.myenvironmentvariables and I load it from ~/.bashrc (for Terminal) and from the file /etc/X11/Xsession.d/40x11-common_xsessionrc from Files Browser. Just with the code source ~/.myenvironmentvariables. And finally rospy can be import with double click in nautilus.
