Michael,

Thank you this looks like exactly what I was hoping for

Very similar use case…

Best wishes Graeme

Thinking about developing a test harness for clients

Has anyone made a tool which can interrogate a running IOC and create a python soft IOC with the same API? It doesn’t need to work just be the stubs

Struck me as worth asking before I delved into the rabbit hole…

https://github.com/mdavidsaver/ioc-clone

Takes a record list, and produces a .db file which can be passed to softIoc.  Originally to facilitate offline development of OPI screens.
