The `src` directory is also the place where you create your new packages using `ros2 pkg create ...` and not in the root of the workspace.
The next chapters will describe the content of the files inside a package directory. However, the occuring files depend on the type of package (`ament_cmake` for C++ scripts or `ament_python` for Python scripts). This is described in detail [here](https://docs.ros.org/en/foxy/Tutorials/Creating-Your-First-ROS2-Package.html). The following chapters only describe Python packages.

The _setup.py_-excerp above links the the function `main()` from the scripts _talker.py_ and _listener.py_ from inside `/pubsub` to the names _talker_ and _listener_. This way they can be called using `ros2 run pubsub talker` or `ros2 run pubsub listener`.
From this you can see that you need to follow the Python programming style of creating a _main()_ procedure, in order for the entry points to work.
## package.xml
The file _package.xml_ is used to link dependencies to this package. For example, if this package requires a _*.msg_ file which is located inside a different package this is defined in _package.xml_, eg.
