        plico is a framework to develop applications controlling instrumentation typically available in a scientific laboratory.
        It is entirely written in Python and support server-client applications, using [zeromq][zmq] as message dispatcher.
        
        
        
        A list of packages using plico:
           1. [tipico][tipico] and [tipico-server][tipico-server] implements a useless hardware-less typical application controlling a simulated instrument
           1. [pysilico][pysilico] and [pysilico-server][pysilico-server] to control videocameras.
           1. [palpao][palpao] and [palpao-server][palpao-server] to control deformable mirrors

        ## Installation
        
        plico runs on Python 2.7+ and Python 3.3+. 
        
        It depends on zmq, numpy and pyfits (to store calibrations). You need a backend (PyQt4/PySide, PyQt5/PySide2) for GUIs.
        
        It is not very useful to install this package by itself. See [tipico][tipico] to install an example applications simulating some HW controller and a corresponding client. 
        
        Anyhow, if you really want to install plico as standalone package go on with pip:
        
        ```
        pip install plico
        ```
