Laser_geometry ROS2 Eloquent python

Hi, I am trying to convert a laserscan to pointcloud using the laser_geomtry package. Ive made sure the package is installed by running " sudo apt install ros-eloquent-laser-geometry".

When I try to import the package using python it returns: "no module named 'laser_geometry' ". Does this package support python? If so, why does it not import?

Thanks!

I faced the same problem in ROS2 Foxy. Got it working by installing the package from source using ros2-branch: https://github.com/ros-perception/las...

I believe that the same branch would also work in Eloquent.

When installing from source I had to also install ros-foxy-sensor-msgs-py dependency on Foxy:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install ros-foxy-sensor-msgs-py
