PyTangoArchiving allows to:

• Increase the capabilities of configuration and diagnostic.
• Import/Export .csv and .xml files between the archiving and the database.

PyTangoArchiving requires a MySQL python binding installed, either python-mysql or mysqlclient

https://pypi.org/project/mysqlclient/#description https://github.com/PyMySQL/mysqlclient-python https://mysqlclient.readthedocs.io

With Python3 only mysqlclient will be supported, the steps to install it (on Debian) are:

sudo aptitude remove python-mysqldb sudo aptitude install python-pip sudo aptitude install libmariadbclient-dev sudo pip install mysqlclient

Other PyTangoArchiving dependences are PyTango, Fandango and Soleil's Archiving or HDB++.

All of them can be obtained from www.tango-controls.org
