This Python module is designed to make it easy to build complex EPICS databases by writing a Python script. While writing record templates the corresponding dbd entries are checked to reduce the number of errors in the database.

a=records.ao('TEST')
c=records.calc('CALC',CALC='A+B',SCAN='1 second',INPA=a.VAL)
c.INPB=c
WriteRecords('output.db')
