#698 PyTango.Util discrepancy

[Tiago Coutinho]

There is a discrepancy in the API provided by:

util1 = PyTango.Util(args)
util2 = PyTango.Util.instance()

Some methods are not usable in some of the forms. Example:

>>> util1.get_device_list("*")
Python argument types in
    _Util.get_device_list(Util, str)
did not match C++ signature:
    get_device_list(Tango::Util {lvalue}, std::string)

Side note:
BTW, the first form is incorrect. To adhere to the C++ API it should be written as:
util1 = PyTango.Util.init(args)

This API exists in PyTango but pogo is not generating it.
(note: even if it is used it triggers the bug)

Fixed in latest PyTango SVN trunk
Will become visible in next PyTango 8.1.6
