How to convert a Pose to PyKDL Frame in python (and vice versa)

In ROS1 I used tf_conversions.posemath, toMsg and fromMsg. I'm porting my code to ROS2 and I can't seem to find the Python3 module tf_conversions. If the module existing, what is the debian package to install (Ubuntu 20.04/Galactic)? If not, is there a different module/API available?

toMsg and fromMsg were not ported to ROS 2. Refer to this discussion:

https://github.com/ros-visualization/...

You can use:

void tf2::convert(const A & a, B & b)

https://docs.ros.org/en/melodic/api/t...

convert() function converts any type to any type (messages or not). Matching toMsg and from Msg conversion functions need to exist. If they don't exist or do not apply (for example, if your two classes are ROS messages), just write a specialization of the function.
