"""
This is some code for communicating with a Delta-Tau PMAC motor
controller as used at SINQ from python. Python 3 is assumed and
tested. We use the ethernet protocol of the Pmac. This code benefits
from the SICS driver for Pmac which in turn benefits from the driver
written by Pete Leicester at Diamond.
Usage: python36 deltatau.py pmachost:port command
Then returns the response for command.
