running rosrun beginner_tutorials talker.py gives me the error /usr/bin/env: ‘python’

Has the package been built? It looks like this error shouldn't happen. The tutorial uses catkin_install_python() to install the talker script, which will create a wrapper script that has the correct shebang for the version of ROS being used. rosrun will run that wrapper instead of the original script.

catkin_install_python(PROGRAMS scripts/talker.py
  DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
)

There's more info about what shebang should be used in the UsingPython3 guide.

pls update the wiki guides ThankYou

When you find out a solution, feel free to create a wiki account and edit the page.
