Description-en: Python client library for Robot OS
This package is part of Robot OS (ROS). The rospy client API enables
Python programmers to quickly interface with ROS topics, services,
and parameters. The design of rospy favors implementation speed
(i.e. developer time) over runtime performance so that algorithms can
be quickly prototyped and tested within ROS. It is also ideal for
non-critical-path code, such as configuration and initialization
code. Many of the ROS tools are written in rospy to take advantage of
the type introspection capabilities.
.
Many of the ROS tools, such as rostopic and rosservice, are built on
top of rospy.
