[ros-users] [Discourse.ros.org] [Next Generation ROS] Questioning the .launch.py file extension

[Alexander Rössler via Discourse.ros.org]

Thank you for the explanation.

Using `importlib` or to implement the code to test inside a Python module is indeed possible.

However, I still prefer the `_launch.py` suffix, since this would conform to pep naming and enable unit tests without creating additional Python modules.

I would also be interested to hear from users that moving from ROS1 to ROS2 if the `_launch.py` syntax feels unnatural compared to `.launch.py` or the other way around.
