Catkin plugin & python conflicts

Yeah, occasionally I’ll do a quick edit to a Python script and it is quicker to leverage ROS being networked than integrating it into the snap immediately. I stripped them from the file above, but some of the other packages in the ROS repo take a very long time to build. I’ve been setting up ROS on my local machine to test small changes without repackaging. I’m open to suggestions though. It would be possible to have the node I’m working on be a different snap to not have to setup ROS on my local machine, but in prod having to keep multiple snaps on the same update together would probably be a headache worth avoiding.

Ah, you know what you’re doing! No need to discuss it, then .

Alright, I’m able to reproduce your issue. While I continue poking at it, my first question is: is ds4drv supposed to be using python2 or 3? Because by default the python plugin uses 3. But ROS’s python bits are python2. I assume if this is supposed to be resolved by rosdep, it’s python2.
