	The particle accelerators hosted at the Institute for Beam Physics and Technology (IBPT) represent a complex infrastructure with a live control system interface, a data archive, measurement routines and storage and management of metadata, among other aspects. The ’IBPT Python tools’ were created to provide a unified interface to all aspects of the accelerator infrastructure for both short-term student projects and basic accelerator operations. Instead of creating another custom framework, these sets of tools focus on bridging the gap between well established libraries and our facility and accelerator specific needs. External and accelerator specific libraries are glued together to provide an interface in order to minimize the technical knowledge of the accelerator infrastructure needed by the end user. Well established software engineering workflows of continuous integration were implemented to provide automatic testing, packaging, API documentation and release management. This paper discusses the general motivation and approach taken to create and maintain such a set of Python modules.

THP20	Python Based Interface to the KARA LLRF Systems	86

	The Karlsruhe Research Accelerator (KARA) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is an electron storage ring and synchrotron radiation facility. The operation at KARA can be very flexible in terms of beam energy, optics, intensity, filling structure, and operation duration. Multiple digital LLRF systems are in place to control the complex dynamics of the RF cavities required to keep the electron beam stable. Each LLRF system represents a well established closed system with its own set of control logic, state machine and feedback loops. This requires additional control logic to operate all stations together. In addition, during special operation modes at KARA, extra features such as well defined beam excitation are needed. This paper presents the implementation of a Python layer created to accommodate the complex set of options as well as an easy to use interface for the operator and the general control system.
