Package roslib

roslib is largely deprecated starting in the ROS Fuerte release.

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.

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).

Version: 1.7.0
