Description: Channel Access client library
        =============================
        This library contains the low-level bindings to the *libca* library and an
        high-level thread-safe interface for ease of use.
        
        For the server implementation see `channel_access.server`_.
        
        .. _channel_access.server: https://pypi.org/project/channel_access.server
        
        Installation
        ------------
        Before installing the library, the environment variables ``EPICS_BASE``
        and ``EPICS_HOST_ARCH`` must be set.
        
        Then the library can be installed with pip::
        
            pip install channel_access.client
        
        Examples
        --------
        Examples are located in the ``examples`` directory.
        
        The ``simple.py`` example monitors a single process value and outputs the
        contents of the data dictionary::
        
            python examples/simple.py test-pv
        
        Get the source
        --------------
        The source code is available in a `Github repository`_::
        
            git clone https://github.com/delta-accelerator/channel_access.client
        
        .. _Github repository: https://github.com/delta-accelerator/channel_access.client
        
        Documentation
        -------------
        The documentation for the last version is available `online`_.
        
        The documentation can also be generated from the source code with *sphinx*.
        The package must be installed prior to building the documentation::
        
            cd /path/to/repository
            pip install .
            python setup.py build_sphinx
        
        Then open ``build/sphinx/html/index.html``.
        
        .. _online: https://delta-accelerator.github.io/channel_access.client
        
        Tests
        -----
        Tests are run with *pytest*::
        
            cd /path/to/repository
            pytest -v
        
        To run the tests for all supported version use *tox*::
        
            cd /path/to/repository
            tox
