Hi there!

i was trying to learn more about TF2, but running the

roslaunch turtle_tf2 turtle_tf2_demo.launch

it is obtained

Use arrow keys to move the turtle. 'q' to quit.
process[turtle_pointer-6]: started with pid [2221]
/usr/bin/env: ‘python’: No such file or directory
[turtle1_tf2_broadcaster-4] process has died [pid 2210, exit code 127, cmd /opt/ros/noetic/lib/turtle_tf2/turtle_tf2_broadcaster.py __name:=turtle1_tf2_broadcaster __log:=/home/vivio/.ros/log/2f5f5452-4605-11ec-acdb-556470342d91/turtle1_tf2_broadcaster-4.log].

I guess the the line regarding python is important "/usr/bin/env: ‘python’:" In Ubuntu 20.04 Python3 is default. I have to find the file of turtlesim and add "/usr/bin/env: python3"?

Thank you!

I've found several solutions:

Create a symlink between python & python3
use sudo apt-get install python-is-python3, but I'm not sure if it creates just a symlink
The solution I have adopted after testing all 3:

Go to /opt/ros/noetic/lib/turtle_tf2 and modify the first line in f all the python files there #!/usr/bin/env python to #!/usr/bin/env python3. Credits go to https://github.com/ros/geometry_tutor...
