Description: Pypiezo
        =======
        
        Pypiezo is a Python module to control piezoelectric actuators.  It is
        mostly a set of convenient wrappers around pycomedi_ calls for keeping
        track of the relevant calibration constants.  To get a feel for an
        "official" set of calibration constants, you can take a peek at
        `veeco_header`, which is the beginning of a saved Veeco NanoScope
        image file.  It lists the parameters used by the NanoScope during
        imaging.
        
        
        Installation
        ============
        
        Packages
        --------
        
        Gentoo
        ~~~~~~
        
        I've packaged pypiezo for Gentoo.  You need layman_ and my `wtk
        overlay`_.  Install with::
        
            # emerge -av app-portage/layman
            # layman --add wtk
            # emerge -av sci-libs/pypiezo
        
        
        Dependencies
        ------------
        
        If you're installing by hand or packaging pypiezo for another
        distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
