how to read a rosbag in python?

Question
11 ●3 ●4 ●7

Hi,

So I want to read a rosbag with the help of a python script. The rosbag contains many topics but I am mainly interested in reading the "sensor_msgs/Pointcloud2" messages. I have found 2 libraries such as "rosbags" and "bagpy" but I am not sure which one is the best to use. Does anyone have some advice or experience with these two libraries?

Below code is from official wiki and clearly explains what needs to be done to get bag data with python. Hope it helps!

import rosbag
bag = rosbag.Bag('test.bag')
for topic, msg, t in bag.read_messages(topics=['chatter', 'numbers']):
    print(msg)
bag.close()
