This repository contains core python libraries that wrap the C++ artifacts of allwpilib. These libraries are officially supported for use in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
API documentation is at https://robotpy.readthedocs.io/projects/robotpy/en/latest/
Warning
It is not recommended for users to build their own copy of RobotPy. Instead you should use our prebuilt packages that we publish on PyPI and on the WPILib artifactory site. See TODO for details
mostrobotpy consists of many interdependent python packages, which can be
found in the subprojects directory. Each subproject can be built like
any other python project, but it is recommended that you use our rdev.sh
tool instead.
You must have a working C++ build system and python development headers installed for your system.
Next install dependencies using pip:
pip install -r rdev_requirements.txt
pip install numpy
Then run this command to build all the wheels.
./rdev.sh ci run
All the resulting wheels are in dist, which can be installed using pip.
We only support cross-compiling for RoboRIO and raspbian via the WPILib
docker build containers. See .github/workflows/dist.yml's cross-build
job for the name of the containers and the steps that must be run inside
the container.
