[All Distros] Default PyAssimp version 4.1.4 causes silent crash when loading STL through MoveIt's PlanningSceneInterface

[anion0278]

Describe the bug
PyAssimp version 4.1.4 causes a silent crash when loading STL through MoveIt's PlanningSceneInterface (Python).
The issue can be fixed by installing pyAssimp==4.1.3. The issue is present in both Melodic and Noetic and seems to be rather old (moveit/moveit#86 (comment), https://answers.ros.org/question/316515/cannot-add-mesh-files-to-moveit/) and related to pyAssimp itself rather than ROS (assimp/assimp#2343) .
A potential solution is to change the installed version in patch.bat

To Reproduce
Please see the attached MRE: example.zip
Steps:

roslaunch panda_moveit_config demo.launch
rosrun panda_moveit_config src/attached_obj_collision.py

attached_obj_collision.py silently fails after printing MoveIt commander ok, objects are not added into the scene, trajectory is not planned.

Expected behavior
Running attached_obj_collision.py (violet object in the attached image) should load work_object.stl into the planning scene and execute the trajectory around two green boxes.

Thanks for the report. Given the upstream issue, I'm tagging on all distros to validate.

Hi! Is ROS2-Iron supported on Win11?

[ooeygui]

@songyuc Open Robotics provides Windows binaries for Iron. You can install them from here - https://docs.ros.org/en/iron/Installation/Windows-Install-Binary.html.

Hi @ooeygui. The doc said they only support Win10.
