New Audio Package for Python3

[hamiltron]

Hey everyone,

I just released the simpleaudio package for Python 3 (https://pypi.python.org/pypi/simpleaudio/1.0.0) which allows cross-platform audio playback. Documentation and tutorial are here: http://simpleaudio.readthedocs.org/.

This interface is asynchronous so it plays nice with GUI apps. It requires all the audio up front so it's better suited for sound-effects and playing short clips; it won't work for streaming or real-time audio generation. It does work with Numpy arrays. I have tested it on a Model B with the 3.5 mm audio jack.

Enjoy.

Hello, sounds interesting, but no joy building, or even installing

Info here:

https://pypi.python.org/pypi/simpleaudio/1.0.0

refers to:

https://github.com/hamiltron/simpleaudio

which is a 404 as itś wrong. Looks like itś:

https://github.com/hamiltron/py-simple-audio

Both attempts result in:

Any ideas please?

[DirkS]

Any ideas please?

Docs state clearly it's for python 3. Your error messages show you're using python 2...

[tvjon]

Yes, I understand that...

Python3 commands do not work either, eg.,


sudo python3-pip install simpleaudio

sudo: python3-pip: command not found

Well, it does exist, but Iĺl humour it anyway..,

$ sudo apt-get install python3-pip

sudo python3-pip install simpleaudio

The command is not python3-pip but be

Code: Select all

sudo pip3 install simpleaudio

or

Code: Select all

sudo pip-3.2 install simpleaudio

depending on your OS version

What a lot of pips!

No time to test it now, but pip3 seems to have installed it, thank you.

[hamiltron]

tvjon,

Thanks for your feedback. I fixed the link to the Github repo on PyPI. ... And yes, as pointed out, Python 3 only.

I share your sentiments about there being inconsistent naming of pip between platforms - I even have a note about this in the docs, but it will probably always be a pain point as long as that's the case.
