I've just downloaded and installed QuteCsound 0.5 to my Win7 PC. I've also
downloaded and installed what I believe to be the most current version of
Csound for Windows, which seems to be 5.11.1 (the -f version).

QuteCsound itself runs fine. But when I attempt to run a score I got from
somewhere or other -- it's some sort of demo for the Bohlen-Pierce scale
(and don't get me started on that subject ... what an ugly scale!) -- I get
error messages that suggest that Python is not installed.

I have Python 2.6.4 on my hard drive, and I've gone to the QuteCsound
Configure > Environment page and put its root directory in the Python Script
Dir field, but that doesn't seem to help.

I also tried reading the Csound manual, but the Python section just talks
about the opcodes. It says nothing about installation. (This would be a nice
addition to the manual, I think.)

I have a vague memory that Csound wants to see an older version of Python,
like 2.5.5 or something. That might or might not be part of the problem.

Can someone explain to me how to get the Python functionality up and
running? I would make only one request: If your explanation includes the
word "path," please do not assume that I know what a path is, or how one
would be set up. I used to know ... it's something I can get to from the Run
box, I think, possibly by launching config.sys or something with a name like
that. But even if I had taken notes last time, by now I wouldn't know where
to find the notes.

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

If you don't need python, the easyiest thing is to move the py.dll
Csound plugin out of the plugins directory. The python warnings should
stop. It's also recommended on windows to move widgets.dll and
virtual.dll out fo there becuase they will interfere with
copy/pasting.

If you want python, you need the appropriate version Csound was
compiled with. Due to its age, 5.11 is probably compiled with python
2.5, or maybe even 2.4. Can anyone confirm this?

Cheers,
Andrés

fluidOpcodes.dll should be moved out of Csound's plugins directory, too.

Thanks, Andres ... but I'm assuming that maybe I _do_ want Python. I might
even want to try using it for something. To do that, I need to have the
correct version installed in the correct manner. I don't know what the
correct version is, and I don't know how to install it in the correct
manner.

--JA

Download the Python installer for Windows, version 2.6 latest, from
www.python.org.

Then uninstall Csound and re-install it using the latest Windows
installer on SourceForge, and install all the features.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Do you mean, "the latest version (big numbers 2.6)"? Or do you mean, "no
more recent than 2.6(.0)"? I can read your sentence either way -- and as I
already have 2.6.4 installed, it makes a difference.

...but I just did that last night, which was certainly subsequent to my
installing Python. Also, "uninstall Csound" is a bit ambiguous, because
Csound doesn't show up in the Windows Uninstall list. Do you just mean "drag
Csound to the Trash"? Or is there some other step that needs to be taken so
that the system will unregister and re-register it properly?

--JA

There is an uninstall menu item, or an uninstaller in the installation
directory.

Python 2.6.X, not 2.7 or 3.0. I have 2.6.2.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Jim, on my Windows 7 system, with Csound 5.11 installed (and working!) I also
don't have an Uninstall entry in "Uninstall or Change a Program". However,
in the Csound menu there is an Uninstall item (which appears to point to
"C:\Program Files\Csound\uninstall.exe") Give that a try.
I also am interested in this issue of how to get Python to talk to Csound.
Thanks all,
r.
