This CMake function creates files in /usr/local/lib? Why do we want to do that?
I also don't think ${CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX}/local/lib is the right path if we do know for a fact that this is what we want to do.

What we want to do is install the Python package to a place on the PYTHONPATH. The way ROS 2 goes about this is to add an entry to the PYTHONPATH for every Python package built from source in your workspace. In this context, CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX refers to ros_ws/install/my_python_pkg.

A bit late perhaps, but I'm running into this.
All other modules of a package like msgs and srvs are without the /local.

This is failing pre-commit. You might need to rebase it, it seems to be about python quotes. |

This PR adds the functionality to generate a Python parameter module in a Cmake project. See here for the feature request. I also added another Python example that uses this new feature.
