Thanks I figured that out to, on my desktop and build machine importlib resides in /usr/lib/python2.7/importlib which i guess is the standard location but it is missing on target My PYTHONPATH on target is ok. I do not actively include any python into my build. I rely solely on what meta-ros will bring onboard, via depend statements and clearly a depend is missing. but which one will bring on importlib? --- [Visit Topic](https://discourse.ros.org/t/python-trouble/1439/3) or reply to this email to respond.
