[PD] python scripting in pd

[Ronny Andersson]

Hi,

This is my first post on the list, so sorry for top-posting (or is
that the standard?) :)

I have been using PD+python on macos x. Here's what I did to get pd to
find the py module:

1) http://grrrr.org/ext/beta/macos/pd/py.pd_darwin
2) copy it to /Library/Pd/
3) in pd-extended, go to Preferences->Startup and add "py" to the list
4) create an object [py FILENAME METHOD] where FILENAME is your
pythonscript and METHOD is the python def(): that you want to access.

5) write your pythonscripts :)

I've so far only been sending numbers (ints and floats) in and out to
the python script. You might need to use [pack] to format your data
that you want to sent from pd to python and you might find a python
list [1, 2, 3] easiest to return from python to pd.

I was especially excited to learn that it is possible to use python to script objects in pd using py/pyext and purity.  I've become quite frustrated, however because i haven't been able to figure out how to get these libraries/modules to work.  I'm running OSX leopard with a highly customized version of pd-extended.

It's not working on my version of pd so I was wondering if there is an easy workaround or if I am going to have to compile the source myself.  And if so, could someone give me a few pointers in that direction.  Like I said, working with code is a new thing to me and i'm stabbing around in the dark.
