Controller setup.py entry?

Hi,

I have followed the tutorial on NDSPs. I have a working controller, tested with sipyco_rpctool and with the custom client shown in the tutorial. I am missing how to incorporate it into device_db.py and use it in a custom experiment. I have tried to add to device_db.py the following lines

device_db.update({
    "hello": {
        "type": "controller",
        "host": "::1", #localhost
        "port": 3249,
        "best_effort": False,
        "command": "python //Users/Javier/ARTIQ/Javier/artiq-master/aqctl_hello.py "
    }
})

and tried to run a custom test script

from artiq.experiment import *

class hello_test(EnvExperiment):
    'Test script for hello controller'

    def build(self):
        self.setattr_device("hello")

    def run(self):
        self.hello.message("Hello, World!")

directly from the commandline using artiq_run hello_test.py but I get these error messages

(artiq5) C:\Users\Javier\ARTIQ\Javier\artiq-master>artiq_run hello_test.py

    sock.connect(sa)

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I'm probably missing important details in the tutorial. I have read some advice I don't fully understand, such as

2. The controller, which ... artiq.frontend.aqctl_XXX. A setup.py entry must also be created to install it.
3. An optional client, which ... are front-end tools (called artiq.frontend.aqcli_XXX) that have setup.py entries.

...

tip: Defining the main function instead of putting its code directly in the if name == "main" body enables the controller to be used as well as a setuptools entry point.

I think setuptools is a python library for packaging Python projects (maybe ARTIQ is packaged using it) but I'm not sure if that is related to getting the hello controller to work in an experiment. Is the controller entry in device_db.py wrong? I cannot get more descriptive error messages, not even with artiq_master -v -v and artiq_run -v -v. Should I do something with some setup.py file?

Thanks for any help
