abstract = {{\textless}p{\textgreater} In this report, {\textless}italic{\textgreater}Py4Syn{\textless}/italic{\textgreater} , an open-source Python-based library for data acquisition, device manipulation, scan routines and other helper functions, is presented. Driven by easy-to-use and scalability ideals, {\textless}italic{\textgreater}Py4Syn{\textless}/italic{\textgreater} offers control system agnostic solution and high customization level for scans and data output, covering distinct techniques and facilities. Here, most of the library functionalities are described, examples of use are shown and ideas for future implementations are presented. {\textless}/p{\textgreater}},
