# ros_introspect | ||
Pure Python library for working with the files in ROS packages | ||
|
||
`ros_introspect` is a Pure Python library for working with the files in ROS packages in a structured way. | ||
It is compatible with both ROS 1 and ROS 2. | ||
|
||
You can specify the path directly. | ||
|
||
``` | ||
from ros_introspect import Package | ||
package = Package('/full/path/geometry_msgs') | ||
``` | ||
or you can use the built-in crawler to search recursively | ||
|
||
``` | ||
from ros_introspect import find_packages | ||
for package in find_packages('/home/dlu/ros2_ws/src'): | ||
print(package) | ||
``` | ||
|
||
|
||
## The `Package` Class | ||
|
||
A `Package` is a path where the `$PATH/package.xml` exists and a collection of `PackageFile`s that are contained within that folder. | ||
|
||
Each of the package files are a subtype of `PackageFile` based on their functionality, with each of the subtypes being defined in `ros_introspect.components`, including... | ||
|
||
* `package.xml` | ||
* `CMakeLists.txt` | ||
* Source code (Python or C++) | ||
* ROS Interfaces, i.e. messages, services and actions | ||
* DynamicReconfig configurations (ROS 1 only) | ||
* Plugin XML, for use with `pluginlib` | ||
* Launch files, both `XML` (ROS 1) and Python (ROS 2) | ||
* Parameter files (`.yaml`) | ||
* RViz configurations (`.rviz`) | ||
* Robot model files (`.urdf` and `.xacro`) | ||
* `setup.py` and `setup.cfg` for Python code | ||
* Documentation (Markdown, RST, licenses, etc.) | ||
* Miscellaneous Config files (various metadata like the `.github` folder) | ||
|
||
Everything that does not fall into one of those categories ends up as "Other"** | ||
|
||
**Excluding `.pyc`, `*~`, and `.git/` files |
