Writing a Publisher and Subscriber with a Custom Message(Python) Tutorial Not Working

edit

I am trying to follow the tutorial as detailed in this link: (http://wiki.ros.org/ROS/Tutorials/Cus...)

I am using ROS Kinetic on ubuntu 16.04.

I was able to build the Person messages fine without errors and using rosmsg show command. ROS was able to find the message and show the following as output:

string name
int32 age

I created two different packages to run it. One is called the quadrotor_receive node while the other is called the transmit_thrust node. The transmit_thrust runs the custom_talker.py script while the quadrotor_receive runs the custom_listener.py.

I am having the following errors trying to run the custom_listener.py by itself. Below is my script on the quadrotor_receive node.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import rospy
from quadrotor_receive.msg import Person 

def callback(data):
    rospy.loginfo("%s is age: %d" % (data.name, data.age))

def listener():

    rospy.init_node('custom_listener', anonymous=True)
    rospy.Subscriber("custom_chatter", Person , callback)

    # spin() simply keeps python from exiting until this node is stopped
    rospy.spin()

if __name__=='__main__':
    listener()

When I tried to run the above code I get the error

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ted/catkin_ws/src/quadrotor_receive/scripts/custom_listener.py", line 4, in <module> from quadrotor_receive.msg import Person ImportError: No module named quadrotor_receive.msg

I also tried to replace the line:

from quadrotor_receive.msg import Person

with the following:

import quadrotor_receive.msg

I then get the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/ted/catkin_ws/src/quadrotor_receive/scripts/custom_listener.py", line 17, in <module> listener() File "/home/ted/catkin_ws/src/quadrotor_receive/scripts/custom_listener.py", line 11, in listener rospy.Subscriber("custom_chatter", Person, callback) NameError: global name 'Person' is not defined

So what can I do to make the code run? What did I do wrong?
