  1. PyTango release 3 • Two new features: • New installation procedure • Tango device server • Bug fixes, speed improvements, new methods…

  2. PyTango release 3 • New installation procedure • You install the source tree where you want • Still uses Bjam (the Boost make system) • Some Bjam related scripts have to be modified according to your disk files structures • It is now a Python package • Installation procedure documented in the ReadMe files (Unix and Windows)

  3. PyTango release 3 • Python device server is a wrapping of the C++ API. It is not a new package coming from the IDL file (like Java DS) • Uses Boost.Python • It needs Tango C++ API V5.5 (or older) • Management of the Python GIL • Per thread data to handle data type conversion • Python not needed to compile Tango

  4. PyTango release 3 • All the commands are managed by one C++ command class (PyCmd) • One instance of this class per command • Command name is a data member of this class (Tango feature) • All the attributes are managed by three C++ attribute class (PyScaAttr, PySpecAttr and PyIma Attr) • One instance of one of these classes per attribute • Attribute name is a data member

  5. PyTango release 3 • Command • They are defined in a Python dictionary called cmd_list data member of the xxxClass (PowerSupplyClass class) • cmd_list dictionary : • ‘cmd_name’:[[in_type,<“In desc”>],[out_type,<“Out desc”>],<{Opt parameters}>] cmd_list = {‘IOLong’,[[PyTango.DevLong,”Number”], [PyTango.DevLong,”Number * 2”], {“polling period”:2000, “display type”: PyTango.DispLevel.EXPERT}]}

  6. PyTango release 3 • Command simple data types

  7. PyTango release 3 • Command array data types

  8. PyTango release 3 • Attribute • They are defined in a Python dictionary called attr_list data member of the xxxClass (PowerSupplyClass class) • attr_list dictionary : • ‘attr_name’:[[attr data type, attr data format, attr data R/W type],<{opt parameters}>] attr_list = {‘Long_attr’:[[PyTango.DevLong,PyTango.SCALAR, PyTango.READ], {“label”: “A dummy attribute”, “min alarm”: 1000, “max alarm”: 1500}]}

  9. PyTango release 3 • General methods • init_device() • delete_device() • always_executed_hook() • read_attr_hardware() • signal_handler() • State and Status can be re-defined if needed

  10. PyTango release 3 • Coding difference related to C++ • Command’s is_allowed methods does not have argument • No class_factory file/method. Replaced by the add_TgClass() and add_Cpp_TgClass() methods of the Python PyUtil class • No device_factory() method

  11. PyTango release 3 • Some timing measurement (2 CPU Xeon 3.2 Ghz Suse 9.3, 2 GB mem) • In = One Long, Out = One long • In = Void, Out = 100000 double (Python list)

  12. PyTango release 3 • Several Tango classes within the same interpreter • All Python Tango classes • No problem, use the client part of PyTango • Mixing Python and C++ Tango classes • Within the same Device Server process, you can have C++ Tango class and Python Tango class. • The C++ Tango classes are dynamically loaded

  13. PyTango release 3 • Pogo (4.5.4 and above) now generates : • A small “C” function to create the xxxClass singleton of the Tango class (in the xxxClass.cpp file) • A new Make dependency called “shlib” in the Makefile • A new method (not a command) of the admin device • Load the shared library • Retrieve the symbol associated with the new small C function • Execute this function

  14. PyTango release 3 • Developed and tested with Linux Suse 9.3 and Windows XP using VC8 • Python 2.4 and 2.4.1 • Boost.Python 1.33.1 • Solaris ?

  15. PyTango release 3 • What is not done • Device logging, • Management of large data number with NumPy • Pogo could be modified to support Python device server • Same property management than C++ or Java DS • Wizard initialization • HTML doc generation
