Subject[CSOUND-DEV:5097] Python for hosting Csound
Wondering what the impact is of having Python host Csound instead of a C or C++
app. If all audio creation and timing is handled within Csound, and the host is
merely a user interface that makes csoundAPI calls, how much does the Python
runtime cost? Is this neglible? Is it on the order of 1%, 10%, etc? 

Also, I have made a simple gui now with wxPython, and I want to try embedding
csound, but having never done anything with multiple languages before, I have no
idea how to do this. I have the example for a C host. If anyone can point me in
the right direction or recommend some good online reading that would be
wonderful. At the moment I just want to get csound5 embedded and make it go beep
on clicking my wxButton.

Thanks
