I tried this with Orbifold.py and it didn't work, but Visual Python probably interfered. I'll try again, so I'll do this, when I get a chance -- going on vacation this Friday. I'll be working at times on vacation, but things will obviously be going more slowly.

Regards,
Mike

from sebastian gustfeld about Cabel:
============================================
We are using the wrapper library for python to generate a CSD file. At
first we were also using this wrapper to start a csound thread (inspired
by Orbifold.py in the csound5/examples directory) but this made the GUI
nearly unresponsive with running csound thread.
================================================

I am a little worried that this has not worked for him. I was hoping that
the Python library could work as the sound engine for python applications.
If people will still have to run csound in a separate process, then all the
nice things that have been added to the API will not be used.

I suppose it could be a question of setting priorities for the threads, can 
that
be done in Python. The problem he reports does not seem to happen in
Java. Would it be the case for adding up a Python module (written in C)
that starts a thread for a given Csound instance (more or less as the csPlay
command in Tclcsound?), running csoundKsmps() in a loop?
That would have to be added by hand, I suppose, unless an API function is
added to do it (which perhaps is not really something to have in the API).
