Introduction

This note is intended to help people getting started with Python to use the PyTango interface. It does not contain explanations, instead it covers the various topics by examples. This should be useful at least for those who know one other scripting language.

The PyTango manual can be found on the 'pink site': www.tango-controls.org. The authors are M. Ounsy, A. Buteau, V. Forchi, E. Taurel and T. Coutinho.

Python can be studied in “Learning Python” by Mark Lutz and David Asher, “Programming Python” by Mark Lutz, all printed by O'Reilly.
