I forgot to mention yesterday that the new cdsutils install includes a couple of new userful features:

New library:

• pydv: this is a simple library for plotting time series of NDS channels.  It is what is used by the "lockloss" utility we put together at LLO.

New cdsutils commands:

• dv: simple time series plotting, like a very basic dataviewer with a much better plot window/gui:

cdsutils dv H1:SUS-ITMX_M0_OSEMINF_{F1,F2,F3,LF,RT,SD}_INMON

• audio: rockifo replacement.  play an NDS channel over the local computer speakers:

cdsutils audio H1:LSC-DARM_OUT

I removed the rockifo script, which has now been deprecated.
