Revision history [back]

I don't have an answer to your first question (supplying args through the roslaunch python API), but if you decide to use subprocess, you can supply args on the command line this:

roslaunch pkg file.launch arg_name:=arg_value arg2_name:=arg2_value

You could pretty easily put that into a subprocess call.
