Sticky : PyROS-Dev Introduction

[asmodehn]

Sticky Issue for new comers to Pyros-dev :

1. Python practice : self-project in python (not related with ROS just yet).
   Reference for release : https://www.pypa.io/en/latest/ Otherwise just surf the internet :-)

2. ROS install (on pc) + tutorials there http://wiki.ros.org/

3. Review this package for different ways to use python in a ROS ecosystem.

4. Go over https://github.com/pyros-dev/catkin_pip to get familiar with the low level mix of ROS C++ with python.

5. Check pyzmp for doing communicating multiprocess in pure python. And then you can use it within ROS via the third party release

6. Check pyros and pyros_rosinterface for doing communicating multiprocess between ROS and python. This is doable in ROS environment (using the third party release for pyros or in pure python (using the installed pyros_interfaces_common ROS package)

7. Check rostful to get a python web interface on top of your ROS system. Made for pure python (but also doable in ROS since a third party release is available)

8. Bonus : Go over to https://github.com/pyros-dev/rosimport, attempt to use it, and finally get rid of the catkin toolkit, even for ROS programs.
