Initial RobotPy 2020 RoboRIO release

Technical Python
1

Initial RobotPy for RoboRIO is out! It’s a bit rough, but a lot of things are there and working. Unfortunately, documentation hasn’t been updated yet, and third party vendor support will be something I tackle tomorrow night.

pyfrc and the robotpy-installer have been updated (thanks to Nick of team 5654 for that!). Still no OSX support, someone needs to step up and make that work.

I’ve pushed pyfrc as a beta release, so you have to pass the --pre flag to pip.

py -m pip install --pre pyfrc

Additionally, the RobotPy RoboRIO installer is no longer a standalone download, but it is installed as part of pyfrc.

Using it is mostly the same as before:

py -m robotpy-installer download-robotpy
py -m robotpy-installer install-robotpy

There’s still work to be done, join us on gitter to help finish it up!

Thank you so much! is it possible to program a test robot with what is out now? I am trying to make a program for a test drive.

Yes, as long as you’re using motors that ship with WPILib, they should work. If they don’t work, please report it as a bug and we’ll try to address it.
