Measurements often involve complex protocols requiring the coordination of many different devices. Laboratory management or measurement software such as Qudi and NOMAD-CAMELS assist in performing these tasks. It provides a framework for easier collaboration and sharing of resources. It often includes a standalone graphical user interface (GUI). This GUI controls new compound instruments consisting of several devices and can be used to coordinate the measurement. Different projects often improve an additional aspect, such as NOMAD-CAMELS with metadata collection or MAHOS with messaging between distributed devices. Here we present Python Library for EXperimental Physics (Plexy), which is a highly modular repository of Python modules. Among the main design goals are automatic metadata recording, distributed device coordination, modular and flexible but standardized code organization as well as independent and common GUIs. An analyzer GUI performs common analyses specific to photoluminescence spectroscopy and time-correlated single-photon counting of quantum dot single-photon sources.
