Experimental Physics and
Industrial Control System

We're working on a python Qt based display manager called
PyDM  that allows our operators and experimenters to blend
analysis  python GUI's  using pylab, scipy, etc. w/ EPICS
acquisition and control.
https://conference.sns.gov/event/11/session/1/contribution/45

Rather than implement a full new set of EPICS aware widgets,
I'm looking into making the epicsqt widget set available to
these gui's using python wrappers.    I considered using
the caqtdm widget set for this, but it appears to require the caqtdm
display program to be driving the widgets, so I think the epicsqt
EPICS aware widgets will work better w/ python.

As we're also looking at how to convert our existing edm screens,
we could use and customize the existing edm to epicsqt ui file
conversion scripts to help create epicsqt equivalents for more
static layout based control screens.

Questions for readers of this list, please respond if you know anything
about the current state of projects connecting Qt with EPICS.

Is the http://www.epicsqt.org/ website and the associated development
effort now dead? I notice that the Wiki that was there has been removed
(or it died and nobody has fixed it) so the only thing present on that
website now appears to be the front page.

I know Andrew Rhyder is now retired and he hasn't committed any changes
to his epicsqt github repo since last June. Is anyone still working on
the core epicsqt code in a private repo? Are any EPICS sites developing
applications based on Andrew's code?

Both Anton Mezger and Helge Brands are still actively working on caQtDM,
and hopefully Anton's retirement won't have a significant affect on
future development. Is there any relationship between this code and the
epicsqt stuff any more?

Does it make sense to use the caQtDM code as the basis for other
applications? Has anyone written a related/similar replacement for
StripTool, Probe or ALH yet?

What EPICS sites have developers working in this area?

Are there any other major questions I've missed?
