Very cool topic in the last episode of the ROS Developers Podcast. We interviewed Gonzalo Casas Software engineer at Gramazio Kohler Research of ETH Zurich. There, Gonzalo has developed the ROSlibPy a library that allows to create Python programs that can connect to ROS without having to install ROS in your system. It is very useful to interact from Linux, Windows or Mac machines with ROS robots.
