Hi Andrew,

pyexpander is a different approach to macro expansion compared to pymsi. It can be used to replace msi, but is more generic in it's design. It could also be used instead of m4 or as a sourcecode preprocessor.
However, I still support Pymsi with respect to bugfixes or possible feature requests.

Greetings,,

Goetz Pfeiffer

Is this intended to replace pymsi? I just added a pyexpander link to the
EPICS Extensions page, should I also move pymsi into the deprecated area, or
do you intend to continue maintaining both?

Thanks,
