Hello all,

I am pretty new to ROS and trying to write a Turtlebot simulation. I followed the steps explained in here until the one roslaunch turtlebot3_fake turtlebot3_fake.launch. I got the following error at that:

 Traceback (most recent call last):

I've already encountered some problems related to the fact that Anaconda is installed, but I somehow managed to overcome these but I'm stuck again. How can I make ROS use Python 2.7 instead of Anaconda? Thanks a lot.

edit:I've already tried the method suggested here, but that won't work either. I tried to edit the .bashrc file. Right now the last 3 lines of my .bashrc file looks like this:

# added by Anaconda3 4.3.1 installer export
 PATH="/home/cydonia/anaconda3/bin:$PATH"
 source /opt/ros/kinetic/setup.bash

I tried deleting anaconda3/bin part and then the line became: export PATH="/home/cydonia:$PATH"

But nothing changed. I truly appreciate any help.

Your anaconda installation is still interfering with your PYTHONPATH. It creates a python virtual env that appears to be masking your default python implementations.

Mixing virtual envs is likely going to cause problems.
