description: "rospy is a pure Python client library for ROS. The rospy client\n  \
  \  API enables Python programmers to quickly interface with ROS <a href=\"http://ros.org/wiki/Topics\"\
  >Topics</a>, <a href=\"http://ros.org/wiki/Services\">Services</a>, and <a href=\"\
  http://ros.org/wiki/Parameter Server\">Parameters</a>. The\n    design of rospy\
  \ favors implementation speed (i.e. developer\n    time) over runtime performance\
  \ so that algorithms can be quickly\n    prototyped and tested within ROS. It is\
  \ also ideal for\n    non-critical-path code, such as configuration and initialization\n\
  \    code. Many of the ROS tools are written in rospy to take\n    advantage of\
  \ the type introspection capabilities.\n\n    Many of the ROS tools, such\n    as\
  \ <a href=\"http://ros.org/wiki/rostopic\">rostopic</a>\n    and <a href=\"http://ros.org/wiki/rosservice\"\
  >rosservice</a>, are\n    built on top of rospy."
