Yeah, that bit is obvious, the trouble is all the "something like" :-)
I'm a firm beliver in Gettys principles for software development,
number 3 of which says:
3.The only thing worse than generalizing from one example
is generalizing from no examples at all.
But rather than write a lot of code to deal with config file reading,
we should simply use python:
Create a pylt_site.py containing something like:
import hp34401a
import hp33120a
def hp34401a():
return hp34401a.hp34401a(name="/dev/ttyfoo", adr=11)
def hp33120a():
return hp33120a.hp33120a(name="/dev/ttybar", adr=5)
and then use that in your programs:
include pylt_site
g=pylt_site.hp33120a()
m=pylt_site.hp34401a()
# do stuff.
Problem solved ?
