genmypy

A Python stub generator from genmsg specs

Installation

If you use catkin and need CMake support for the genmypy generator, clone the repository and add it to your catkin workspace.

cd /path/to/your/ws
git clone https://github.com/rospypi/genmypy.git

If you don't need the cmake support, you can also install it from pypi.org:

pip install genmypy

Usage

catkin

Add genmypy along with message_generation to find_package in CMakeLists.txt. genmsg will find genmypy automatically when building msg/srv files.

Also, keep in mind that your package should have the build dependency for genmypy in package.xml to make sure that catkin finishes the build of genmypy before building your package.

Examples:

• CMakeLists.txt

  ``` cmake find_package(catkin REQUIRED COMPONENTS std_msgs message_generation genmypy)

-   

    package.xml

    :   
``` xml
        <build_depend>genmypy</build_depend>
        

CLI

$ genmypy --help
