Package roslib

roslib has a very important role in all Python code written for ROS: it contains the load_manifest() method, which updates the PYTHONPATH based on a set of ROS Package manifest.xml files. Because of this role, roslib is required to be on the PYTHONPATH of every ROS installation.

Beyond the important load_manifest() call, most of the rest of roslib consists of low-level libraries that 99% of ROS users need not interact with. These libraries are primarily to support higher-level ROS Python libraries, such as the rospy client library, as well as numerous ROS tools (e.g. rostopic).
