Is it possible to identify clients?

matthias	Subject is pretty clear: is there some API in PyTango that allows me to identify clients? P.S. and OT: is it possible to replace this WYSIWYG editor with a Markdown editor? Edited 9 years ago

TCoutinho	I am afraid the answer is no, there is no way to know in a server which clients are connected. This is a feature that has already been asked for but is not implemented. It has to come from the Tango C++ level.

Cyrille	Hi there, Do you have any visibility about such feature implementation in future in python? Do you have any advice on how to workaround this? ZMQ? Client would provide an IP/port number to server and wait (waiting thread) for server to reply Would it be possible to use dynamic attribute for that? Client would create a device proxy dynamic attribute according to a condition and then subscribe to it. Device server would memorize dynamic attribute (provided through a client command call) and notify via push when a condition satisfies client. Cyrille. Edited 8 years ago
