- rospy is a pure Python client library for 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. -
