Does pyTango support DevVarEncodedArray?

Development Python
1

Hi everybody,

I am seeing this error when I start a pyTango device that is supposed to use an unbound array of DevEncoded values (DevVarEncodedArray):

    from tango import Except, DevState, AttrWriteType, DebugIt, Util, DevBoolean, DevEncoded, DevVarEncodedArray
ImportError: cannot import name 'DevVarEncodedArray' from 'tango' (/usr/local/lib/python3.7/dist-packages/tango/__init__.py)

I suppose that this means that pyTango does not support DevVarEncodedArray?

Hi Thomas

You are correct - DevVarEncodedArray is missing from PyTango. It shouldn’t be too hard to add, but requires some digging in the Boost extension layer.
