When importing tf2_geometry_msgs in a Python script running a node in ROS Noetic, I keep getting the following error indicating that I need to install PyKDL.

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/catkin_ws/devel/lib/my_package/my_node.py", line 15, in <module>
    exec(compile(fh.read(), python_script, 'exec'), context)

    import tf2_geometry_msgs

    import PyKDL
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'PyKDL'

When I try to install PyKDL using pip3 install PyKDL, I get the following error:

This is frustrating because everything was working great yesterday and I'm unsure what has changed in my ROS setup. My issue seems to be referenced in the Noetic Migration Guide here but it is not clear to me exactly what I need to do to install the required dependency.

Any ideas?

Hello, how to solve this problem after adding 'PyKDL', I tried to update sip, but there is still a version conflict problem.

Here is a work around. I found that I could install PyKDL by sudo apt install python3-pykdl This installs a library to /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDL.cpython-38-x86_64-linux-gnu.so.

Then, I made sure that my PYTHONPATH contains /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/. Now, import PyKDL finally succeeds.

build with the instruction here: https://github.com/orocos/orocos_kine...

And, you'll get a PyKDL.so file here: ./build/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDL.so

orocos_kinematics_dynamics/python_orocos_kdl$ find . | egrep "\.so"
./build/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDL.so

Then, copy the file to your env's dynamic library path. For example, I'm using conda and python 3.8, I'll do this:

cp ./build/devel/lib/python3/dist-packages/PyKDL.so ~/miniconda3/envs/py3/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload

Then, you can use command below to check whether it works:

python -c "import PyKDL"

I am getting "error: static assertion failed: The number of argument annotations does not match the number of function arguments" when doing make for python_orocos_kdl
