Hello Guys

I'm trying to implement a code to call ROS topics inside a Python code.

When i try to import rospy and roslib I have the message:

import roslib
ImportError: No module named roslib

my initial code is:

from collections import deque
import numpy as np
import argparse
import imutils
import cv2
import os # incluido para chamar comando do linux.
import time #incluido para utilizar o delay
import roslib
import rospy
from geometry_msgs.msg import Twist

This is not a solution, but: you don't need to import roslib any longer in a rospy script. Unless you're using some functionality from it of course.

You need to have the ROS Environment sourced in the terminal where you run this. Follow the tutorial about Setting up a ROS Workspace.

Remember to call source <PATH_TO_YOUR_WORKSPACE>/devel/setup.bash in every new terminal you open.

Or even better, writte down the source <PATH_TO_YOUR_WORKSPACE>/devel/setup.bash into your .bashrc file, which will source the setup file automatically everytime you open a new terminal.

@kharkad you are correct.

Though once you start working with multiple workspaces this can lead to a lot of confusion. Thus, until you know what this is about, I personally think it helps people understand what is required and why if you have to do that manually...
