For python 3 support, you should have a look at this ticket: https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/3166

But I think you're going to have some trouble getting ROS to work on python 3. Can't you use python2 instead? Or are you running Arch Linux?

Cheers,

Ugo

I use Ubuntu 10.04, I tried to change the python default version to 2.6 with sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python-config2.6 /usr/bin/python-config and sudo ln -s /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python. But it's not work. I also tried with update-alternatives, but that no help. How to change back to python2.6?

Tien Thanh ( 2011-04-21 01:07:23 -0500 )edit

You ran update-alternatives and selected python 2.6? What does python --version return?

Ugo ( 2011-04-21 01:38:55 -0500 )edit

Python 3.1.2

Tien Thanh ( 2011-04-21 02:06:10 -0500 )edit

and ls -l /usr/bin/python is linked to /usr/bin/python2.6? How did you install python3? Through apt-get?

Ugo ( 2011-04-21 02:12:36 -0500 )edit

Yes the ln -s /usr/bin/python is linked to /usr/bin/python2.6. I installed python3 through robotpkg http://softs.laas.fr/openrobots/robotpkg/README.html#tth_sEc2.1.3.

Tien Thanh ( 2011-04-21 02:28:38 -0500 )edit

Then you should probably have a look at your PATH and see where python 3 is installed (may be /usr/local/bin?). If you do export PATH=/usr/bin and check python --version it should give you python 2.6.

Ugo ( 2011-04-21 02:34:42 -0500 )edit

I change the link in python in robotpkg to /usr/bin/python2.6 and it works. But I'm not sure package in robotpkg still work probaly. Thank you anyways.
