Why you should catkin build a pure python package as well.

Why you should catkin build a pure python package as well, although nothing gets compiled:

When you build a package using catkin build, the path to the package is added to some variables in setup.bash. When setup.bash is sourced the next time, these variables are made part of the environment. Thus, tools like rosrun and roslaunch can find the executables/scripts and python may find modules.
