[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Ament build for python packages with dependencies

[Nate Bunderson]

Hi all, I am building a python package that depends on a pypi package.  I include the name of the pypi package in the "install_requires" list in the setup.py file.  If I build the package with "python3 setup.py install" the dependency is built as well and everything runs well.  If instead I build with "ament build" then the package builds without errors but the dependency is not actually included. I guess I had assumed that ament build essentially did a "python3 setup.py install" under the hood. But would somehow manage to put those dependencies in the site-packages in the install folder as well. I am on beta 3.  Thanks for all you do!
