[Teresa N. <mar...@de...>]

Hi Carlos,
                 thanks. Yes, I also thought that it should work ...
I get the warning as you say, but after the warning the program
  crashes complaining about the model. I will have a look at the
  examples you say and fill a ticket if I think that it is a bug in Taurus.

                         Regards,
                                          Teresa

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus 4 preview available

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

You are right. There is a bug already about this in the tracker:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/221/

But note that old eval syntax should be supported in Taurus 4 (it should 
issue deprecation warnings, but it should work). So please fill a bug if 
some previously valid eval name is not working in taurus-4.

Cheers,

Carlos

PS: until the official docs are updated, you can find many examples of 
valid and invalid eval names in

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus 4 preview available

[Teresa N. <mar...@de...>]

Hi Carlos,
                    many thanks for the information and all the
  work implied.
  I have simply tried to run some basic taurus scripts I have,
  and I got an error in the script I was using an expresion
  with 'eval' for setting the model. I know that you made
  changes in the model scheme (according to TEP3) but
  I could not find a clear documentation how the expresions
  have to be changed, and with the old expresion it doesn't
  work. I can look deeper and perhaps the solution can be
  found without asking, but in any case I think that  this
  information should be place in any very visible place (well,
  sorry if it is already placed and I didn't find it).
  Many thanks again.

                           Regards,
                                          Teresa

[Tauruslib-users] Taurus 3.x and 4.x release plan

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all, 

As mentioned in a previous email [1], the next major version release of 
Taurus (v4.x) is now closer. Now I would like to introduce our proposal 
for the release plan (feedback is welcome).

Our plan is to treat the taurus4-preview branch [2] as a feature branch 
(similar to what we do for the tep-x branches) and eventually merge it 
into the develop branch (among other things, this implies the acceptance 
of TEP3 and TEP14).

Our intention is to be ready for merging into develop right after the 
Jan16 release (which will likely be Taurus 3.7).

After we merge, the development of new features would be based on the 
develop branch (i.e. on v 4.x), and official beta releases of Taurus 4 
could be done shortly after the Jan16 release.

Considering that existing user's code may need changes to run on Taurus 
4 (see the PS note below) and also that legacy systems may not be able 
to meet the updated dependencies of Taurus 4 (e.g., PyQt>=4.8), we 
intend to continue supporting the Taurus 3.x series during some time via 
hotfixes with selected bug fixes (and, exceptionally, with feature 
backports from the 4.x series). Nevertheless, we strongly recommend to 
port existing code to Taurus 4 as early as possible, and to base any new 
development on the latest version.

Please reply to this email with your comments, questions and/or 
suggestions regarding the proposed release plans.

Cheers,

Carlos 
(on behalf of the ALBA Taurus Developers)


PS: Taurus 4 is largely compatible with Taurus 3. Code that uses only 
standard widgets is likely to run unmodified. More complex code may also 
run unmodified thanks to a backwards compatibility API that transparently 
adapts 3.x API to its 4.x equivalent (and logs messages warning the user 
to help porting the code later on). Still, some 3.x API cannot be 
automatically adapted, and code that uses it may need to be changed.

[Tauruslib-users] Taurus 4 preview available

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all,

I would like to announce that we uploaded a preview of the development 
of taurus v 4.0.0 on which we have been working at ALBA.

You can try it by checking out the "taurus4-preview" branch from the 
canonical git repo.

The main changes introduced in Taurus4 are those documented in TEP3 and 
TEP14, plus some widget adaptations. The most visible changes for the 
user are:

* Units support: numerical values types are pint Quantities (instead 
  of int or float)
* The core is control-system agnostic (tango dependency is now optional)
* Much more powerful and robust eval scheme
* Simplified API for creating new schemes

Note that this introduced some unavoidable API backward 
incompatibilities (i.e. some code created for taurus 3.x may need 
modifications to work with 4.x), but we have done a huge effort to 
minimize this by providing a backwards compatibility API that will 
correctly handle "3.x-style" code and issue recommendations of "new-
style" alternatives whenever it is possible.

Apart from the above-mentioned incompatibilities, note that this is a 
"preview" (i.e. alpha stage) and it contains some bugs that need to be 
fixed prior to the release. You can find the list of taurus4 release-
critical bugs here:

https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/milestone/taurus4/

We would love to get the feedback of the community. Please try taurus 4 
and give feedback. Bugs can be reported on the usual tracker (please 
specify if they are taurus4-specific)

Cheers,

Carlos (on behalf of ALBA's Taurus Developers)

PS: Regarding the plans for the official release of taurus4 and the 
support for taurus 3.x after that, I will write the details in another 
email soon.

Re: [Tauruslib-users] [tauruslib-user] taurustrend --use-archiving - problem

[Sergi R. <sr...@ce...>]

Well, to check if your attribute is archived or not:

 > ipython
# import PyTangoArchiving
# attribute = 'a/b/c/d'
# rd = PyTangoArchiving.Reader()
# rd.is_attribute_archived(attribute)

if the result is True, ask for the last hour values

# rd.get_attribute_values(attribute,-3600)

If the result is False or exception, please reply with your output

To add the attribute to archiving:

# hdb = PyTangoArchiving.ArchivingAPI('hdb') #or tdb for temporary archiving
# hdb.start_archiving(attribute) #To archive every minute
# hdb.start_archiving(attribute,{'MODE_P':[15000]}) #To archive every 15s

If it fails, reply to this email with your output. The arguments for 
start_archiving
are described in the ArchivingManager documentation.

For using tdb you have to configure the DB maintenance/cleanup in your
DB server, you can ask Soleil regarding that.

Re: [Tauruslib-users] [tauruslib-user] taurustrend --use-archiving - problem

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi Lukasz,

As I said, I am personally not an expert on archiving. Sergi Rubio (in 
CC)  is the author of the archiving support of TaurusTrend, so he may be 
able to give better help.

With my limited knowledge, all I can suggest is:
1- make sure you use Soleil's archiving system (according to srubio, it 
doesn't work with other archivers)
2- make sure that your attribute (let's say "a/b/c/d") is configured in 
the archiver and also that its values are really being archived (*)
3- launch taurustrend a/b/c/d
4- use the context menu to enable archiving (righ-click->use archiver)
5- Now go to plot configuration (Right-click->plot configuration) and 
disable the "Fixed-range scale" checkbox. Then enter a start value 
previous to the time when you launched the trend (step 3). Apply and 
Close the configuration dialog.

You should be seeing archived values now.

(*) Note: this is crucial, but it is where I cannot help you much since 
I've never done this myself. I guess you can do a mysql query against 
the DB, or use Mambo...

Hi, 

Since the feature is working without problems in Alba and you do not 
give details of how you are trying it, I can only guess a very basic 
explanation... please excuse me if my answer is too obvious:

In order to use the archiving feature you need, first of all, to have the 
values archived. That is, an *external* archiver infrastructure is 
needed, and the attributes for which you wish to access the archived 
values need to be configured for archiving.

Sergi rubio may be able to give further hints...

Cheers,
Carlos

[Tauruslib-users] taurustrend --use-archiving - problem

[Lukasz Z. <luk...@uj...>]

Hello All,

I have a question about taurustrend --use-archiving, as you can find in 
attachment, it doesn't work.
I tested it on new TangoBox9 and in control room at Solaris (we are 
using taurus-3.3.0).
I didn't find any ticket (http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/), 
so maybe I use it in wrong way or I don't know how to configure it?
I found in documentation:
http://www.taurus-scada.org/en/stable/users/ui/trend.html#accessing-archived-values

Re: [Tauruslib-users] install through pip

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

Wow! 

thanks a lot for the hint. This has been a known bug since 2 years ago
( https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/194/ )  and we thought the 
only way to fix it was to move from distutils to setuptools (that's why 
it wasn't yet fixed).

I just tested with "pip install taurus --egg" and it worked perfectly 
for me.

Thanks!

Carlos

Re: [Tauruslib-users] install through pip

[Vincent H. <vin...@ma...>]

Hi Yngve,

Not a direct answer to your question but it can help.
We have just set up our RPM repositories open for Internet. This includes all the packages for taurus, pytango, … for CentOS 7.
http://pubrepo.maxiv.lu.se/rpm/el7/

This set up is still in testing mode but any feed back will be welcome.

Cheers,
Vincent

Hi all,

I am not sure where 'single-version-externally-managed' option comes from, probably someone more clever than me can explain. In any case, after a bit of searching online I found a recommendation to add the '--egg' option to pip. That worked very well:

$ pip install taurus --egg --user

Installing collected packages: taurus
 Running setup.py install for taurus

(I added the --user as well to only install for my user account without sudo)


Same is true for PyTango by the way. I would consider to maybe add this as (an alternative) installation instruction in the documentation.

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus & Sardana installation on Windows

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Jagoda,

Regarding installation, just run (cmd), for example:
msiexec /i taurus-3.6.0.win32.msi /qn
msiexec /i sardana-1.6.1.win32.msi /qn

For more details, on how to use msiexec, just execute it without 
arguments (cmd) and a pop up will raise with all the options.

Please let us know if you experience any problems. Your feedback will 
help us in taking decision of moving from exe to msi installers.

Many thanks,
Zibi

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus & Sardana installation on Windows

[Jagoda S. <j....@pr...>]

Hi,

Yes, it seems that Taurus and Sardana on Windows work fine for me. I'm 
just not familiar with these tools, so it takes time to use them fluently:)
We've just wondered if it's possible to silent install, both. I'm 
preparing a quick Taurus and Sardana installation and want to ensure, no 
user interaction will be needed.
Could you give us any information if it's possible at all? A list of 
parameters which I could use for Taurus and Sardana installators would 
be helpful.

By the way, thank you for reply.

Best regards,
Jagoda

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus & Sardana installation on Windows

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Lukasz,

Yes, I've tried both packages. They installed well on Windows 7 
Enterprise SP1 (64 bits).
I've tested it on two different machines, the same one where the package 
was created and on my laptop.
I've checked basic functionalists, like run taurus applications, Pool, 
MS, spock.. end I've not seen any problems.

Does it also work for you?

Cheers,
Zibi

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Taurus & Sardana installation on Windows

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Lukas,

AFAIK only msi packages can be installed unattended on Windows platform.
Up to now we were not providing these installers, but we are considering 
to switching from exe to msi installers in the future.

I've just created experimental msi packages of taurus 3.6.0 and sardana 
1.6.1, and uploaded them to PyPI:

https://pypi.python.org/packages/any/t/taurus/taurus-3.6.0.win32.msi
https://pypi.python.org/packages/any/s/sardana/sardana-1.6.1.win32.msi

Please let me know if they serve for you.

You could also create them by yourself with (only on windows):
python setup.py bdist_msi

Regarding installation, just run (cmd), for example:
msiexec /i dist\sardana-1.6.1.win32.msi /qn

For more details, on how to use msiexec, just execute it without 
arguments (cmd).

Keep in mind that the packages I've just created were not extensively 
tested.
Please let us know if you experience problems with Taurus or Sardana.

Cheers and have a nice weekend!
Zibi

We did some work on automated installing of taurus/sardana on windows, 
as part of a test of our Continuous integration system.

I think that some tricks were needed. I do not remember the details (the 
work was done by a student who is no longer here) but Zibi probably 
will, since he was involved more closely in those tests.
Zibi?

Cheers,

Carlos

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Which IDE is good for developing PyQt apps which uses Taurus widgets.

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hi Binit,

Personally I use Eclipse with PyDev plugin and I'm happy with it.
In order to obtain the syntax hints (or code completion), I just 
configured my project property: PyDev - PYTHONPATH.
There I add source directory of Taurus as an external library.
I think that in the past I found some other way to configure it (I guess 
using project references), but the way of "External Libraries" works for 
me now.
I did not have to do anything to obtain PyQt syntax hints, I think it 
comes with the python you choose to use, since it is installed in the 
site-packages.

Some of my colleagues have moved from Eclipse to PyCharm and for the 
moment they do not complain:)

Hope it helps,
Zibi

[Tauruslib-users] Which IDE is good for developing PyQt apps which uses Taurus widgets.

[Binit A. <bin...@tc...>]

Hi All, 


I am using PyQT for creating my application. I need to use PyQT IDE so that it helps me to suggesting some syntax and code. 
I am also using Taurus widgets in my application. So my requirement is that it should also suggest the command and syntax for Taurus widgets. 
Please suggest some good PyQT IDE which helps for this requirements.

Re: [Tauruslib-users] Question about taurus model for commands.

[Zbigniew R. <zre...@ce...>]

Hello Giacomo,

Thanks for your email! I reply also to the 
tau...@li...
which is a dedicated list to the taurus user queries.

In taurus you can executed commands on taurus devices (representing 
Tango devices) in the following way:

In [1]: import taurus
In [2]: d = taurus.Device('sys/tg_test/1')
In [4]: d.DevFloat(1)
Out[4]: 1.0

However the model concept of Taurus does not include commands.
Please take a look on the current documentation
http://www.taurus-scada.org/en/latest/devel/core_tutorial.html#model-concept
And also keep an eye on TEP3 and TEP14 which are refactoring the taurus 
core:
https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/wiki/TEP3
https://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/wiki/TEP14

That means that you can not set a Tango command as a model of e.g. 
TaurusPlot and expect from it
that it periodically execute the command and replot your curve.
Of course you can develop your widget using taurus library to do what 
you want.
An example of widget related to Tango commands is a TaurusCommandButton:
http://www.taurus-scada.org/en/latest/devel/api/taurus/qt/qtgui/button/_TaurusCommandButton.html
In this case its model is a Tango device.

I recall that in the TEP3 and TEP14 discussions, commands were evaluated 
as models for Taurus, but I can't remember details.
It seems that this was completely discarded cause the documents do not 
mention them.
For sure Carlos Pascual will inform you better about it whenever he is 
back from holidays.

I hope it helps,
Zibi

[Tauruslib-users] New release of Taurus 3.6.0 (Jul15)

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi all,

The new Taurus release 3.6.0 (corresponding to the Jul15 milestone) is 
now available to download from PyPI  (source and windows installer):
    
    http://pypi.python.org/pypi/taurus/3.6.0


To install from source, download the tarball, untar and run:
    
    % python setup.py install 

The documentation is available at:

    http://www.taurus-scada.org

The main improvements since taurus 3.4.0 (aka Jan15) are:
    
    - support of user creation/removal of custom external application
      launchers at run time (see #158)
    - support of LimaCCDs DS (see #175) and improvements in the codecs
    - taurusplot/trend uses the same order than the legend for exported
      data (see #161)
    - Fixed memory leaks in plots/trends (see #171)
    - fixed many bugs in TaurusPlot,  TaurusWheel,  TaurusImageDialog,
      and several other places
    - Docs: several improvements and made ReadTheDocs-compliant
    
For a detailed list of solved issues, see:

    http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/milestone/Jul15/
    
You can also get the full log of commits, from your local git repo with:

    git log 3.4.0..3.6.0

If you encounter problems installing or running this release, please
report them back to the taurus mailing list:

    tau...@li...

or put a ticket in the taurus project:

    http://sourceforge.net/p/tauruslib/tickets/

Cheers!

Carlos (on behalf of all the release team)

PS: before someone asks about the jump in version number... a v3.5.0 
exists in the git repo but was not released in pypi ;)

[Tauruslib-users] Coming back from sourceforge's downtime

[Carlos P. <cpa...@ce...>]

Hi,

You probably noticed that, since last Thursday SourceForge suffered a 
major downtime which affected the taurus and sardana 
mailing lists among other services (see details in [1]).

If you sent some email to the list and it hasn't gone through, 
reconsider sending it again.

At the moment of writing this, most of the "user" services are back, but 
the "developer" tools (e.g. git repos) are still missing.

If you need access to the **develop** git branches of taurus or sardana, 
you can access them on the backup repos that I uploaded to github [2]. 
We are also using these backup repos for coordinating the Jul15 release.
Please note that once the git services on sourceforge are back to 
normal, these github backup repos won't be updated anymore (and may be 
removed).

Cheers,

Carlos
