You should be able to do that. In fact you could write a Python script to
compile an orc that sets up ftables, then use Python to read or create data,
stuff the data into those ftables with the API, and then run the
performance. Or you could do the same thing from inside Python opcodes.

Specifically I'm thinking of being able to read/write ftables from within a
cousnd instrument *while csound is playing*. Do you know which of the approaches
you mentioned would be best for that?

Thanks

Hi Iain,

I scoured through the mailing list as I thought I remember Maurizio 
mentioning being able to within pyext.  I found his old documentation 
(still available) at:

http://pythonsound.sourceforge.net/pyext.pdf

And it has information on manipulating function tables from python.  I 
have no idea to what extent if all of the python module as he had 
implemented is what is in Csound5, so the document might not be applicable.
