hi gabe -

eduardo has examples for his libcsound here:
https://libcsound.readthedocs.io/en/latest/notebooks/01-Introduction.html

examples for ctcsound are here:
https://csound.com/docs/ctcsound/cookbook.html
sources: https://github.com/csound/ctcsound/tree/master/cookbook

and there are python examples in the csound API collection for both,
csound 6 and csound 7:
https://github.com/csound/csoundAPI_examples/tree/master

hope this helps, best -

Thank you both.

Do you know if this book is available also digitally?

Hello Gabriele,

There are several ways of combining Csound with Python. As far as I know, none of them limit the functionality of Csound or of Python in any way.

There is another method, which embeds a Python script inside a Csound .csd file. This method does not require ctcsound or any external libraries, just Csound and Python. The way it works is that a "bin" attribute of the .csd <CsScore> tag is specified, which can be e.g. "python3." When Csound detects this attribute during performance, it creates two temporary filenames and then runs the contents of the <CsScore> tag as a Python script, passing the two filenames to Python. That script can read data from sys.argv[0], and should write generated Csound score events to sys.argv[1]. Csound will then read the file named in sys.argv[1] and perform it as a regular Csound score. I have attached a complete working example, with explanatory comments, to this email.

Regards,

Mike

I'm beginner and I don't known allmost nothing about Csound... I am just
reading books and taking the first exercises but my goal is to learn
enogh to be able to play with it also using python.


Could someone explain with easy words how many way are there available
to use Csound from a python script and which is the best, more complete
I mean, no restriction or features lost?


Tanks.


Gabe.

Eduardo has an excellent library, Maelzel, that also uses Python and works in Jupyter notebooks:

https://github.com/gesellkammer/maelzel

Very easy to get running, well thought out and solves a number of problems for you.
