labpython 0.1.1

Collection of modules for controlling experimental setups.

About

labpython (imported as labpy) is a collection of modules created to simplify gathering and processing experimental data. It also features a collection of modules inside labpy.devices namespace for high-level communication with various devices using pyvisa and pydaqmx backends.

Installation

Package can be installed from PyPI using:

pip install labpython

By default dependencies for communication with devices are not installed. Use [devices] argument to change that behavior:

pip install labpython[devices]

To install directly from github use (with optional #[devices]):

pip install https://github.com/franciszekjuras/labpy/tarball/master#[devices]

If you want to modify the package source code it's convenient to install it in developer mode. In order to do this:

• create and activate a virtual environment,
• clone or download repo from github,
• navigate to its main directory (the one in which this README.md resides),
• execute: pip install -e .[devices]
• now you can use import labpy freely and any changes to source code will be visible without reinstallation
