Not an end user library.

This repository contains the source used to build

pip install epicscorelibs

If you plan to use this for local compilation then it is will be necessary to skip the pre-built wheel binaries.

pip install --no-binary :all: epicscorelibs

Please report issues first to https://github.com/mdavidsaver/epicscorelibs/issues before code.launchpad.net or EPICS mailing lists.

Finding paths to included headers and libraries.

from epicscorelibs.path import include_path, lib_path, get_lib
print(include_path) # use with eg. -I
print(lib_path)     # use with eg. -L
print(get_lib('ca'))# full path of named library
# lib names are: 'Com', 'ca', 'dbCore', 'dbRecStd', 'pvData', 'pvAccess', 'pvAccessCA'

Using with pyepics and/or cothread.

It is advisable to avoid loading more than one version of any of the epics library into a single process. To facilitate this several helpers are provided for common libca wrappers.

DLS cothread

pip install epicscorelibs cothread

try:
    import epicscorelibs.path.cothread
except ImportError:
    pass
from cothread.catools import caget

pyepics

try:
    import epicscorelibs.path.pyepics
except ImportError:
    pass
import epics
