Load this skill when working with Python bindings or dartpy.
Quick Start
python
import dartpy as dart
world = dart.World()
skel = dart.io.read_skeleton("dart://sample/urdf/KR5/KR5 sixx R650.urdf")

Quick Commands
bash
pixi run build-py-dev # Build for development pixi run test-py # Run Python tests pixi run generate-stubs # Generate type stubs
Wheel Building
bash
pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-build pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-repair # Linux only pixi run -e py312-wheel wheel-test
Key Patterns
- •snake_case preferred (camelCase emits DeprecationWarning)
- •NumPy arrays auto-convert to Eigen types
- •GUI requires
DART_BUILD_GUI=ON
Key Files
- •Package config:
pyproject.toml - •Build system:
python/dartpy/CMakeLists.txt - •Type stubs:
python/stubs/dartpy/
