I'm following this tutorial[1] and having trouble with importing.

[1] http://wiki.ros.org/tf2/Tutorials/Wri...

>>> import tf2_ros
>>> tf2_ros.StaticTransformPublisher()
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'StaticTransformPublisher'

Using up-to-date Indigo with Trusty.

$ dpkg -s ros-indigo-tf2-ros | grep Version
Version: 0.5.13-0trusty-20161025-211630-0700

What is it you are trying to do? static_transform_publisher is a command line tool which can be used like this:

static_transform_publisher x y z yaw pitch roll frame_id child_frame_id period_in_ms

I appreciate the link, but I hate that command line interface and am trying to rewrite it.

The real problem is that the debian has not been updated. https://github.com/ros/geometry2/issu...

It looks like StaticTransformPublisher was renamed to StaticTransformBroadcaster. The API looks the same though so you should just be able to directly replace it.
