Good suggestion. As this is the behavior of rospack, I changed rospkg
to match it by default. You can get the raw export by adding a
"convert=False" arg to the get_export() call instead.
A minor cosmetic issue is the printing of "READ_CACHE manifest.xml" in
rospkg/rospack.py:188.
I guest this output will be removed in the next release?
Yes, this has already been removed. I pushed 0.2.3 with the fix as
well as updated get_export() API.
It would be useful if the version number of rospkg could be determined.
This is not yet possible, right?
So could you also add a function which returns the version number of rospkg?
Great idea. Added in the next version:
$ python -c "import rospkg; print rospkg.__version__"
0.2.4
Thank you,
