Hello. I am trying to "import tf" in a python 2.7 terminal, but I am getting the following error. Please help me up, as I am unable to proceed further:

svdeepak99@Deepak-Strix:~/catkin_ws$ python
Python 2.7.17 (default, Nov  7 2019, 10:07:09) 
[GCC 7.4.0] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tf
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/opt/ros/melodic/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/tf/__init__.py", line 30, in <module>

  File "/home/svdeepak99/catkin_ws/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages/tf2_ros/__init__.py", line 35, in <module>

ImportError: dynamic module does not define init function (init_tf2)

I am using ros melodic and Ubuntu 18.04 version. Thanks in advance.

You seem to be mixing Python 2 and Python 3 (note python2.7/dist-packages/tf and python3/dist-packages/tf2_ros mentioned in the error).

You'll have to make sure not to do that.

Thanks for the reply. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling tf & tf2 packages using apt-get multiple number of times, but that doesn't solve my issue. Could you please suggest me how to solve this?

We have worked hard to make sure that the code can be run in python 2 or python 3. But you must choose one and remain consistent. Mixing them will not work.

As @gvdhoorn mentioned you are mixing your environment with python2 and python3 instances. To resolve this make sure to consistently use the same python interpreter in any workspace. Note that for melodic the default python interpreter is python2.

If you used a different python interpreter to build or install a workspace you will want to completely clean the generated outputs and rebuild your workspace with the version of python you want.

Thank you so much. That solved my problem. I just took backup of the files in "src" folder, then deleted the catkin_ws folder, created a new catkin workspace, copied the backed up files into the new "src" folder and ran "catkin_make" command. The error is solved now.
