Why is ROS Publisher not publishing?

edit

I am currently trying to write a Python ROS program which can be executed as a ROS node (using rosrun) that implements the defs declared in a separate Python file arm.py (available at: https://github.com/nortega1/dvrk-ros/...). The program initially examines the current cartesian position of the arm. Subsequently, when provided with a series of points that the arm must pass through, the program calculates a polynomial equation and given a range of x values the program evaluates the equation to find the corresponding y values.

Within the arm.py file there is a publisher set_position_cartesian_pub that sets the Cartesian position of the arm as follows:

self.__set_position_cartesian_pub = rospy.Publisher(self.__full_ros_namespace + '/set_position_cartesian', Pose, latch = True, queue_size = 1)

The issue is that the publisher set_position_cartesian is not publishing the values of the newPose to the robot - can anyone figure out what the issue might be? I can confirm that the def lagrange correctly calculates the values of the x and y coordinates, which are printed out to the terminal via the command rospy.loginfo(newPose). Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've been trying to solve this issue for the last 2 days!
