intended as a rewrite of the roslib Python library, this time with a<br>
publicly supported API.  It is also standalone, i.e. it can be<br>
installed separately from ROS.  The intent for this library is to<br>
support develop of ROS tools that are decoupled from a particular ROS<br>
distribution release as well as become the basis for future ROS tool<br>
bootstrapping.<br>
<br>

<br>
At its heart it can be thought of as a Python rospack/rosstack, though<br>
it goes a little beyond that.   The first targeted use of the rospkg<br>
library is a rewrite of the rosdep library to also be standalone.<br>
<br>
The REP notes current open questions/issues for discussion.<br>
<br>
I have also written documentation here:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.ros.org/doc/api/rospkg/html/sphinx/html/" target="_blank">http://www.ros.org/doc/api/rospkg/html/sphinx/html/</a><br>
<br>
It includes the start of a developer&#39;s guide for those that wish to<br>
also develop/maintain this library.  As this library may become the<br>
bootstrap library for ROS in the future, I encourage those that are<br>
interested to get involved.<br>
<br>
cheers,<br>
Ken<br>
