Rosbags
Rosbags is the pure python library for everything rosbag. It contains:
- highlevel easy-to-use interfaces,
- rosbag2 reader and writer,
- rosbag1 reader and writer,
- extensible type system with serializers and deserializers,
- efficient converter between rosbag1 and rosbag2,
- and more.
Rosbags does not have any dependencies on the ROS software stacks and can be used on its own or alongside ROS1 or ROS2.
Rosbags was developed for MARV <https://gitlab.com/ternaris/marv-robotics>
_, which requires a fast, correct, and flexible library to read, manipulate, and write the various rosbag file formats.
Getting started
Rosbags is published on PyPI and does not have any special dependencies. Simply install with pip::
pip install rosbags
Read and deserialize messages from rosbag1 or rosbag2 files:
.. code-block:: python
from pathlib import Path
from rosbags.highlevel import AnyReader
from rosbags.typesys import Stores, get_typestore
bagpath = Path('/home/ros/rosbag_2020_03_24')
Create a type store to use if the bag has no message definitions.
typestore = get_typestore(Stores.ROS2_FOXY)
Create reader instance and open for reading.
with AnyReader([bagpath], default_typestore=typestore) as reader:
connections = [x for x in reader.connections if x.topic == '/imu_raw/Imu']
for connection, timestamp, rawdata in reader.messages(connections=connections):
msg = reader.deserialize(rawdata, connection.msgtype)
print(msg.header.frame_id)
Convert between rosbag versions::
Convert "foo.bag", result will be "foo/"
rosbags-convert foo.bag
Convert "bar", result will be "bar.bag"
rosbags-convert bar
Convert "foo.bag", save the result as "bar"
rosbags-convert foo.bag --dst /path/to/bar
Convert "bar", save the result as "foo.bag"
rosbags-convert bar --dst /path/to/foo.bag

Development
Clone the repository and setup your local checkout::

cd rosbags
python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
pip install -e .
This creates a new virtual environment with the necessary python dependencies and installs rosbags in editable mode. The rosbags code base uses pytest as its test runner, run the test suite by simply invoking::
pytest
To build the documentation from its source run sphinx-build::
sphinx-build -a docs public
