Hey there!

I want to use Ros / Ros2 with Blender, which provides an extensive python API. In theory, I think I should be able to modify sys.path to be able to use rclpy. I tried to simply print sys.path in the command line, append these values to sys.path in a script run py Blender and then in the same script import rclpy. The script looks like this:

import sys

new = ['', '/root/ros2_foxy/ros2-linux/lib/python3.8/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python38.zip', '/usr/lib/python3.8', '/usr/lib/python3.8/lib-dynload', '/usr/local/lib/python3.8/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages']

for line in new:

if line not in sys.path:

sys.path.append(line) import rclpy

Which seems to work but when I try to do

from rclpy.node import Node

It gives this error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Please refer to 'https://index.ros.org/doc/ros2/Troubleshooting/Installation-Troubleshooting/#import-failing-without-library-present-on-the-system' for possible solutions Error: Python script failed, check the message in the system console

So here's my question: How do I correctly import rclpy and all other needed components if I'm in a capsuled python environment?

PS: Sorry for the formatting, I don't know how to do it properly :b
