ImportError: No module named roslib

This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >75 is welcome to improve it.

I am having a problem running python files. Here are the 1st-3rd lines of the py file:

#!/usr/bin/env python
import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('irobot_mudd')
import rospy

Whenever I run $ sudo python ml.py (ml.py being the python file in question)- as well as any other py file importing roslib, I get the error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ml.py", line 2, in <module>
    import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('irobot_mudd')
ImportError: No module named roslib

If I run

$ python ml.py

I get the following back:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ml.py", line 4, in <module>
    import cv_bridge
ImportError: No module named cv_bridge

My setup.sh file is as follows:

export ROS_ROOT=/opt/ros/electric/ros
export PATH=${ROS_ROOT}/bin:${PATH}
export PYTHONPATH=${ROS_ROOT}/core/roslib/src:${PYTHONPATH}
export ROS_PACKAGE_PATH=/opt/ros/electric/stacks 
if [ ! "$ROS_MASTER_URI" ] ; then export ROS_MASTER_URI=http://localhost:11311 ; fi

this is what my python path looks like:

echo $PYTHONPATH 
/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:/opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:

Here is the result of ls /opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src:

package.cpp  ros  roslib

And the result of ls /opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src/roslib/*.py is:

I have tried sourcing /opt/ros/electric/setup.sh While this command works, I still get the error

Please provide the complete backtrace. Maybe it contains something important.

Lorenz ( 2012-08-13 02:18:01 -0600 )edit

Backtrace of what exactly?

raymachira ( 2012-08-13 02:39:12 -0600 )edit

The python backtrace that shows you the import error. Please always copy-paste the exact error you are getting. See http://www.ros.org/wiki/Support

Lorenz ( 2012-08-13 03:40:31 -0600 )edit

Sure. Here it is:

raymachira ( 2012-08-13 05:58:54 -0600 )edit

Sure. Here it is: >>Traceback (most recent call last): >>File "ros_workspace/irobot_mudd/ml.py", line 2, in <module> >>import roslib; roslib.load_manifest('irobot_mudd') >>ImportError: No module named roslib

Could you please edit your original question and add it? That makes it way easier to read :)

Lorenz ( 2012-08-13 06:02:49 -0600 )edit

Also, please execute echo $PYTHONPATH after you got the error, in the same terminal. Just to be sure your program uses the right path... :)

You need to call:

source /opt/ros/electric/setup.sh

either manually or in your .bashrc.

Check whether /opt/ros/electric/ros/core/roslib/src exists, and if not, run

sudo aptitude reinstall ros-electric-ros

EDIT: As Lorenz said, you should not use sudo. You should never ever ever use sudo, unless a tutorial tells you to.

So your only problem is:

import cv_bridge
ImportError: No module named cv_bridge

To import cv_bridge, cv_bridge must be listed in irobot_mudd/manifest.xml as

<depend package="cv_bridge"/>

Only then does roslib.load_manifest('irobot_mudd') put cv_bridge into the python path.
