simple configuration wizard

[simoneliuzzo]

Dear @gubaidulinvadim, @GamelinAl, @TeresiaOlsson,

I am trying to produce a little wizard to generate a simple config file (200lines). The present status is here: https://github.com/python-accelerator-middle-layer/configuration-generator.

For it to work properly, I would need:

• tango-pyaml to enable work without catalogs (attributes and type in device definition instead of catalog) issue46, issue45, issue44,
• info on how to make pip install ophyd_async[ca] work

[simoneliuzzo]

presentlypip install ophyd_async[ca]returns:
no matches found: ophyd_async[ca]

@simoneliuzzo I have no issue installing ophyd-async[ca] via pip.

It's also not the correct way to install it because it will only give you EPICS channel access support. Not TANGO or EPICS PV access.

Here are the installation instructions: https://python-accelerator-middle-layer.github.io/documentation/how-to/installation/user-installation.html

[TeresiaOlsson]

If you want to install just ophyd-async without doing it through pyAML, there are instructions here: https://pyaml-cs-oa.readthedocs.io/en/stable/

This is what pyaml suggests:

So I followed the hint, but I get the issue above. If I remove [ca] it is ok.

I think it might be an error which is propagated from ophyd-async. Could be that they have misspelled it because it should be ophyd-async[ca]. If you only do ophyd-async you will get the ophyd-async core without any control system bindings.
