        =====
        
        caffi is the Channel Access Foreign Function Interface.
        It uses CFFI to call EPICS channel access library.
        
        It is the goal of this package to provide direct low level
        interface to channel access, alike the C API.
        
        
        Install
        -------
        EPICS dynamic libraries have been shipped with the package for Windows, Linux and OS X.
        But if the environment variables *EPICS_BASE* and *EPICS_HOST_ARCH* are set,
        those libraries under path ``${EPICS_BASE}/lib/${EPICS_HOST_ARCH}`` will be used.
        
        Either use *pip*,
        ::
        
            $ pip install caffi
        
        or checkout source code from the git repository,
        ::
        
            $ git clone http://bitbucket.org/xwang/caffi
            $ cd caffi
            $ python setup.py install

            context = ca.create_context()
        
            status, chid = ca.create_channel('catest')
            assert status == ca.ECA.NORMAL
        
            status = ca.pend_io(3)
            assert status == ca.ECA.NORMAL
        
            status, value = ca.get(chid)
            assert status == ca.ECA.NORMAL
        
            status = ca.pend_io(3)
            assert status == ca.ECA.NORMAL
        
            print(value.get())
