dynamic_reconfigure (python) changes in fuerte

Question

I recently migrated to fuerte and noticed that the sick_ldmrs driver is broken due to some changes in dynamic_reconfigure python's API in fuerte.

"apply_changes" in config

had to be changed to

"apply_changes" in config.__dict__

,

self.ros_params = config.copy()

had to be changed to

self.ros_params = copy.deepcopy(config.__dict__)

,

for param_name, value in config.iteritems()

had to be changed to

for param_name, value in config.items()

Accessing the dict from outside of the class seems an ugly trick to me. Because it's a super-private variable... Is there any other way this could be achieved?

That looks like a bug to me.

To get it fixed, please open a defect ticket, which can link back to this question.

Thanks for the tip: https://kforge.ros.org/dynamicreconfig/trac/ticket/4

Answer 2

Basically this was a defect in some of the code I wrote last year to support parameter groups and has been fixed in the latest version of dynamic_reconfigure which you can get here and will be in the next release of dynamic_reconfigure.
