Suggestions to solve: include a symlink or install the python-is-python3 package as outlined below. At minimum, add a note to do this in a readme.

Another solution is to add the following to ros_tcp_endpoint/CMakeLists.txt, and run catkin make

catkin_install_python(
  PROGRAMS
    src/ros_tcp_endpoint/default_server_endpoint.py
  DESTINATION ${CATKIN_PACKAGE_BIN_DESTINATION}
)

@FSund I still came across errors after running catkin_make. The initial solution to install python-is-python3 solved the problem.

@FSund Thanks! This worked for me
