Dear ROS users

I translated the diagnostic_updater C++ API into Python. You can find it in the trunk folder of the SVN repo:
https://code.ros.org/svn/ros-pkg/stacks/diagnostics

This will become 1.7.0 soon, once I figure out how to actually do that. Hopefully it will be out as 1.8.0 in Groovy.

I have been using it myself and I implemented a frequency diagnostic facility for the sick_ldmrs driver by csiro (available in the diagnostic branch of their repository). So far it has proved to be bug free, so please use it and let me know how it can be improved. It should be very easy to start implementing it for those who are familiar with the C++ API. There is some documentation within the code, and I will soon come up with an example.py modeled after example.cpp, as well as with some documentation on the wiki.

Regards
