Python Setup for Intel RealSense T265 with Jetson Nano and Ubuntu 18.04

I wanted to document the process I went through to get my Python development environment up and running with Jetson Nano and Intel's T265 tracking camera. While there is documentation out there I kept running into dead ends. You'll want to install the librealsense2-utils as documented here:

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/blob/master/doc/installation_jetson.md

That will get you to the point where you can run realsense-viewer and see the data stream from the camera and sensors. Don't worry about installing librealsense2-dev as you'll want to build from source.

Make sure you clone the repo to your local machine and then following these steps to get your Python dev environment working:

https://github.com/IntelRealSense/librealsense/tree/master/wrappers/python

The instruction about using "pip install pyrealsense2" did not work for me so I built from source. Make sure you clone the repo and when you configure the project with cmake be sure to specify the path to python 2 and not 3. For some reason I could not get python 3 to work. So your cmake will look like this:

cmake ../ -DBUILD_PYTHON_BINDINGS:bool=true -DPYTHON_EXECUTABLE=/usr/bin/python

Once you make and install be sure to update your PYTHONPATH:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/lib

I'm excited about the possibilities with this camera and hope this video was helpful.
