Python binding for Tango, a library dedicated to distributed control systems.
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.clientprovides a client access to device servers and databases.tango.serverprovides base classes to declare and run device servers.
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)
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.
To test the installation, import tango and check tango.utils.info():
>>> import tango
>>> print(tango.utils.info())
