I've been struggling on making a ROS catkin package as a example with python scripts in it that I would like to install somewhere (with catkin_make install). I've done many mistakes and I don't know why I need to do some stuff, but here you have a package that works as an example:

I hope it is useful for someone else and I also would like to hear comments/add issues to it.

P.S.: The ROS documentation right now about this looks unstable. Also, the sentence at:

Saying:

Remember this: The setup.py is for catkin to use, and not for users to invoke. catkin will make sure setup.py installs files to the right location. If you invoke setup.py manually, you may break your ROS installation.
