I'm programming a Pepper robot with Choregraphe and I'm using a real robot. The problem I have is how can I install python modules to the robot? because I need to use the requests package to make API calls.
I have been browsing in the internet but I don't found any solution.
Root access is deactivated for security reasons so you won't be able to install a package on the robot. If you wish to use external libraries you need to package them as part of your app, as explained below (from https://community.ald.softbankrobotics.com/en/forum/import-libs-py-choregraphe-3578):
You will need to add the path to your packages to Python's sys.path.
Do to that from your Choregraphe Python box do something like this:
import os, sys
python_path = os.path.join(self.behaviorAbsolutePath(), 'lib')
if python_path not in sys.path:
sys.path.append(python_path)
This will make any Python files in the "lib" directory in your application importable. Make sure to import those files in your Choregraphe package, otherwise they won't be installed.
python_path = os.path.join(os.path.abspath(__file__), 'lib')
to get "current_path/lib" to be added to sys.path
