[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS/Troubleshooting] Import error No module named 'rclpy._rclpy' cross compiling

[Asier]

Hi,

I am _cross compiling_ ros2 beta2 for a ARM platform. I get the source `. ./setup.sh` done and after I try to launch the python talker but `rclpy._rclpy` cannot be imported. The default Python version is Python 3.5.

The talker written with C++ works perfect.

I also tried to update the `rclpy` repo to the latest version, and I am getting the same error.
```bash
root at host:/opt/ros2/# /opt/ros2/lib/demo_nodes_py/talker
Traceback (most recent call last):

    rclpy_implementation = importlib.import_module('._rclpy', package='rclpy')
  File "/usr/lib/python3.5/importlib/__init__.py", line 126, in import_module
    return _bootstrap._gcd_import(name[level:], package, level)
ImportError: No module named 'rclpy._rclpy'
```
I have noticed that are similar errors at Windows platform.
