Python aubio module =================== This module wraps the aubio library for Python using the numpy module. Before compiling this module, you must have compiled libaubio. For more information about how this module works, please refer to the [Python/C API Reference Manual] (http://docs.python.org/c-api/index.html) and the [Numpy/C API Reference](http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/c-api.html). Compiling python aubio ---------------------- After libaubio has been build successfully, and provided Python development headers and numpy can be found on your system, you should be able to build the aubio Python module: $ ./setup.py build To find out more about `setup.py` options: $ ./setup.py --help Installing ---------- To install the Python module: $ ./setup.py install Using the Python module ----------------------- Once the aubio library and the Python module are installed, you will be able to import the aubio module: $ python [...] >>> import aubio >>> Alternatively, you may want to use the Python module without installing it by setting PYTHONPATH: $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PWD/`ls -rtd build/lib.* | head -1`:$PWD/tests Testing the Python module ------------------------- Once both the C library and the Python module have been built correctly, and after you have installed them (or setting the environment variable correctly), you should be able to run the tests: $ ./tests/run_all_tests And to try out the demos: $ ./demos/demo_source.wav /path/to/sound/sample.wav You need to install additional modules to run some of the demos. For instance, several demos use [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) to draw plots. Some more demos use [PySoundCard](https://github.com/bastibe/PySoundCard) to play and record sounds.
