  Description     : EPICS channel access for Python

PyEpics is a Python interface to the EPICS Channel Access (CA) library
for the EPICS control system.

The PyEpics module includes both low-level (C-like) and higher-level
access (with Python objects) to the EPICS Channnel Access (CA) protocol.
Python's ctypes library is used to wrap the basic CA functionality, with
higher level objects on top of that basic interface. This approach has
several advantages including no need for extension code written in C,
better thread-safety, and easier installation on multiple platforms.

python-pyepics is needed by xraylarch.
