The python Tango binding is made accessible using the module PyTango.
The PyTango python module implements the Python Tango Device and Database API mapping but also allow to write Tango device server using Python.
It then allows access from Python environment to the Tango high level C++ classes and structures (see “The TANGO Control system manual” for complete reference).
If you want to write Tango device server in Python using this PyTango module, you need Tango C++ library release 7.1 or above.
If you simply need to write Python script which act as Tango client only, older releases of tango can be used.
These Tango high level C++ classes and structures are exported to Python using the Boost.python library (see http://boost.sourceforge.net). Details on how to install the boost library and generate the python PyTango module from source code are available in the Readme files of this packages.
