Hi
My question is simply.
Which one?

Hi, Heinrich.
"No. There is another." :-)
I use EpicsCA, written by Matthew Newville:
 http://cars9.uchicago.edu/~newville/Epics/Python/
It has worked quite well for me and has good documentation.

On the web-site there are 2 different CaPython links.
One from FNAL and one from KEK.
I've downloaded KEK so far. Mainly because of the multi-threaded claim.
It seems to do the basics cleanly and easily. I even manage to setup a
monitor fairly easy.
But I can't seem to find documentation on this.
Most of the other info is about the one from FNAL.

I don't know much about this.
Accept that it has 2 parts caPython and caChannel.
So which one do I use?
Which one is supposedly newer?
Which one is more widely used by other people?
Any specific pro's cons about them?
And if KEK's - where do I find documenation? The documentation inside
the library doesn't really tell you what todo and the samples is way to
big to figure out what is going on.
