I'm new to ROS and I'm having a problem with using a python3 script in ROS. I have a specific library that's only compatible with Python3 and I need a ROS Subscriber to use that library. I can't figure this out. Can someone explain me how I should do this?

UPDATE The error which I receive when I start my listener with "python3 listener.py"

Traceback (most recent call last):

What kind of problem you get when you run a python node. (Subscriber)

Running Python3 code in Kinetic is very difficult. Your specific problem looks like you need to install the python3-yaml package. After that, there will be some other similar problem.
