Tango Core: Python

PyTango - a Python binding to Tango

Python is a commonly used programming language in the scientific community, due to its many advantages (the most important of those is probably simplicity of its syntax). Tango Controls also supports it in a form of a pybind11-based binding to the cppTango implementation.

In “pythonic” terms, it is a package available at PyPI that exposes the complete Tango API (both the client and the server parts of it) as well as provides a framework for unit-testing your device servers.

Note

You should use a PyTango version that has the same major and minor version numbers as cppTango that you have. So if you have cppTango version X.Y.Z, you should have PyTango version X.Y.V (where V might equal Z, but its not required).

PyTango usage
