Hi ,

I have a working Ros-ified deeplearning code which happens to be in Python3 .

The script works fine when i do

python3 my_script.py

I am not finding any information on how to include this in a launch file .

I am aware of

rosrun package_name python_script.py

Can i set some argument for the python path while running the above command ?

You can set your python path in your environment.

Try echo $PYTHONPATH

Then add below line to ur .bashrc file

export PYTHONPATH="path to your python3"

Hope this is what you are looking for

Changing your $PYTHONPATH is not going to change the default Python interpreter. It only changes the locations which the interpreter will search for Python modules.

I don't believe what you are suggesting will work.
