Python Project Example about drake-external-examples HOT 6 CLOSED

cc @EricCousineau-TRI -- he's about to prioritize cleaning up and expanding the python bindings for drake (including the systems framework).

There are parts of director which interact with parts of drake only through the python interface... but I can't think of an example of a project which only uses drake through python off hand.

FWIW, at Draper we would like a pure python workflow for working with drake and pytorch for learning manipulation strategies.

I would really like a 'setup.py' to install drake for use with a specific python installation. Even better would be a conda package ;-)

I think there are quite a few applications which would be enabled with a really simple, easy-to-install python interface to Drake.

Be interested to learn how you wish to have those two working together. @dmsj are you on slack?

@stonier yup - i'm on Drake Developers. I'll message you there.

re: use-case - To begin with, we would like to be able to simulate a dynamic system (with contact) and control it with a learned policy implemented in pytorch. We would use the sim for training as well as evaluation.
