# PyTango - a Python binding to Tango

Python is a commonly used programming language in the scientific community, due to its many advantages (the most important of those is probably simplicity of its syntax). Tango Controls also supports it in a form of a Boost-based binding to C++ Tango implementation.

In “pythonic” terms, it is a package available at PyPI that exposes the complete Tango API (both the client and the server parts of it) as well as provides a framework for unit-testing your device servers.

Note

You should use PyTango that has major and minor version numbers the same as Tango C++ library that you have. So if you have Tango C++ library version X.Y.Z, you should have PyTango version X.Y.V (where V might equal Z, but its not required).

You can find its full documentation here.
