Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've been lurking since 1996, but rarely write - so, first, THANK YOU
to you devs for csound5 - I'm a software dev myself during the day and
understand the investment you are making.&nbsp; Thanks so much!<br>

<br>
My question:<br>
In an effort to reinvigorate my Python skills, I'm going
to port my favorite bits of Common Music 1.x to Python, particularly
the
ItemStream concept and a few other things I frequently use.&nbsp; As
many of you know, it's a good fit within Steven Yi's excellent program
blue, and the last drop of csound5 included a python wrapper for the
Csound API.&nbsp; I'm excited as well about the GUI-building
possibilities between this wrapper and the Python ugens Maurizio
Umberto Puxeddu contributed.&nbsp; But I digress...<br>
<br>
Looking for starting points within the csound
world, I've found the following: athenaCl, Steven's Orchestra Library
in the last drop of blue, and some in csoundVST.&nbsp;&nbsp; I'm
playing catchup to a certain degree. There are a few
examples in the last release of csoundVST which I saw, and I understand
there is more in Silence, but it appears to no longer be
hosted at <a href="http://csounds.com">csounds.com</a>.&nbsp; Is it still available anywhere? Someone is
using the name at sourceforge :(&nbsp; I noticed that Michael Gogin's
site is down due to it's popularity, so perhaps it's there waiting to
be downloaded.<br>
<br>
So, csound community, do you know of
any other algorithmic-composition-related python resources which I
might find useful in this endeavor?&nbsp; I'm wondering if someone
hasn't already invented this wheel.&nbsp; I'd much rather get back to
building instruments and making music ;)&nbsp; Seriously, I'd rather
build on something others are using than reinvent the wheel.<br>
<br>
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Seattle,<br>
