Hey all, I have two publishers with two topics using rospy. I have a third node that subscribe to each of both topics in sequence. I want to use one subscriber for a specified times (may be 10 or 20) and after that exit from this subscriber. Then I subscribe to second and want it to be automatically stopped after given number of times as above. I scanned the google I came to know subscriber.unregister() but it gives error that "'tuple' has no attribute 'unregister'". Any solution to exit from rospy subscriber automatically with out pressing Crl+C.

sb = None 
sb=rospy.Subscriber(topic1,type1,self.callback,(self,sb))
rospy.spin()
sb=rospy.Subscriber(topic2,type2,self.callback,(self,sb))
rospy.spin()

def callback(self,sb):
 self.c = self.c + 1
 if self.c == 10:
    sb.unregister()

Thanks

According to the API that should work. Can you come up with a minimal example to reproduce this.

sb = None; sb=rospy.Subscriber(topic1,type1,self.callback,(sb)); rospy.spin(); sb=rospy.Subscriber(topic2,type2,self.callback,(sb); rospy.spin() def callback(self,sb): self.c = self.c + 1; if self.c == 10: sb.unregister();

Please update your original post with the code. It's not readable in the comment. As far as I can see, something with the parentheses seems wrong.

I have included code up, but its mixed with message. Infact code creates a subscriber and call a callback, I want that callback should be closed after few iteration and then next comes. Both subscriber use the same call back function with differe messagetype. I wanna know how to quit callback.thnx

Looks like you're passing the tuple (self, sb) as the callback args and this tuple now is passed to the callback function under the name sb.

but my question is different. I wanna know how to exit from a callback. unregister does not work in this case, It giver error no attribute as "unregister". Is there any way to exit from a call back after letting it execute for some specified times???? thanks

unregister does, what it is supposed to do. The problem is that you are not calling unregister on the subscriber, but on the tuple that you pass in.

I think the problem that you are not passing a subscriber, but a tuple with (self, subscriber) to your function.

Infact in tuple 'self' I need to keep the data in the callback. But I have checked it by removing the tuple then I get error there is no attribute 'unregister'. I would aks you to just write to me the definiton and call of the callback how can I pass only subscriber please? Thanks

Given that you are within a class, I'd suggest to use self.sb = rospy.Subscriber... not passing any other values and within the callback call self.sb.unregister().
