latest agreement with controls as a result of discontinuation of supported python environments is as follows:

  • only minimal python will be provided but including epics module
  • i.e. we should base all steps on RHEL provided python
python3 -c "import ctypes; import epics.ca; print(epics.ca.find_libca())"
/usr/local/epics/base-7.0.9/lib/RHEL9-x86_64/libca.so

is preferred to

[sls-vserv-bd-hla01-dev ~]$ source /opt/gfa/python-3.10/latest/bin/activate
(base) [sls-vserv-bd-hla01-dev ~]$ which python
/opt/gfa/python-3.10/20220602/bin/python
(base) [sls-vserv-bd-hla01-dev ~]$  python3 -c "import ctypes; import epics.ca; print(epics.ca.find_libca())"
/opt/gfa/python-3.10/20220602/epics/lib/linux-x86_64/libca.so
