PyTango
Main website: http://pytango.readthedocs.io
Python binding for Tango, a library dedicated to distributed control systems.
Description
PyTango exposes the complete Tango C++ API through the tango
python module.
It also adds a bit of abstraction by taking advantage of the Python capabilites:
tango.client
provides a client access to device servers and databases.tango.server
provides base classes to declare and run device servers.
Requirements
PyTango is compatible with python 2 and python 3.
General dependencies:
- libtango >= 9.2
- Boost.Python >= 1.33
Python dependencies:
Build dependencies:
Optional dependencies:
Note
As a general rule, libtango and pytango should share the same major
and minor version (for a version X.Y.Z
, X
and Y
should
match)
Install
PyTango is available on PyPI as pytango
:
$ pip install pytango
Alternatively, PyTango can be built and installed from the sources:
$ python setup.py install
In both cases, the installation takes a few minutes since the _tango
boost
extension has to compile.
Usage
To test the installation, import tango
and check tango.__version__
:
>>> import tango >>> tango.__version__ '9.2.5'
For an interactive use, consider using ITango, a tango IPython profile.
