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 capabilities:

• 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 3.9+.

General dependencies:

• cppTango_ >= 9.5.0, and its dependencies: omniORB4 and libzmq
• Boost.Python_ >= 1.71

Python dependencies:

• numpy_ >= 1.13.3 < 2.0
• psutil_
• packaging_

Build dependencies:

• pypa-build_
• scikit-build-core_

Optional dependencies (test):

• gevent_
• pytest_
• pytest-forked_
• pytest-cov_
• pytest-asyncio_

.. note:: As a general rule, cppTango_ and pytango_ should share the same major and minor version (for a version X.Y.Z, X and Y should match). On some systems you may need to install omniORB4 and libzmq related development packages.

Install

PyTango_ is available on PyPI_ as pytango, with pre-built binaries for some platforms (you need pip>=19.3, so upgrade first if necessary)::

$ python -m pip install --upgrade pip
$ python -m pip install pytango

Alternatively, pre-built PyTango_ binaries can be installed from Conda Forge_::

$ conda install -c conda-forge pytango

For the very latest code, or for development purposes, PyTango_ can be built and installed from the sources. This is complicated by the dependencies - see the Getting Started section in the documentation.

Usage

To test the installation, import tango and check tango.utils.info()::

>>> import tango
>>> print(tango.utils.info())
PyTango 9.5.0.dev0 (9, 5, 0, 'dev', 0)
PyTango compiled with:
    Python : 3.11.4
    Numpy  : 1.23.2
    Tango  : 9.5.0
    Boost  : 1.82.0

PyTango runtime is:
    Python : 3.11.4
    Numpy  : 1.26.0
    Tango  : 9.5.0

PyTango running on:
uname_result(system='Darwin', node='osloxf01', release='22.6.0', version='Darwin Kernel Version 22.6.0: Wed Jul  5 22:22:05 PDT 2023; root:xnu-8796.141.3~6/RELEASE_ARM64_T6000', machine='arm64')

For an interactive use, consider using ITango_, a tango IPython_ profile.
