Hi @wisam-kakooz ,

You don’t have to run the python setup.py install --verbose command with ROS2.
To install your package that you built with python, you just need to run colcon build command.

This is not an error concerning ROS2.

You need to carefully follow the examples for creating a ros2 python package. The error message indicates that it cannot find the publisher_pkg package, and that means it has not been properly created and set tup.
