Recipes for fandango modules usage

dynamic.DynamicDS: template for Dynamic Attributes

see [  http://www.tango-controls.org/howtos/dynamicattributes ]

servers.ServersDict: the Astor-like python API

start/stop all device servers in a machine (like Astor -> Stop All)

Stopping

import fandango
fandango.Astor(hosts=['my.host']).stop_all_servers()

and the other way round ...

astor = fandango.Astor(hosts=['my.host'])
astor.start_all_servers()

if you just want to see if things are effectively running or not:

astor.states()
