Hi! I would like to know how to install rospy ROS package on my Python 3 virtual environment. Right now it only detects the rospy version corresponding to the base installed python 2.7, but does not work for my Python 3 code development.

Thank you!

I've tried following scripts like below, unsuccessfully. Python 3 support still feels like its in a pretty poor state. And in ROS2 few packages are ported. Is there a reason you need Python 3?

Let me know if you figure it out!

Currently I have two separate programs that one works in python 2 and the other one in python 3 so I need to run a virtual environment for each one. But I have issues with the Rospy package on Python 3 that I do not know how to solve it.

You tagged kinetic, which doesn't officially support python3. You can read a bit more about the current ways to use it for example in q237613 (look at v4hn's answer).
