Hello, 

I am new to Csound, but not to Python. I want to start using Csound through
python. As far as I can tell from other forums, the csnd6 module is being
deprecated, and the ctcsound is the latest Python API to use (is this
correct?). 

I downloaded Csound for MacOS from the sourceforge website and was hoping
that ctcsound would come with it. But when I tried to import the module (by
import ctcsound into Jupyter Notebook) I got the error "No module named
'ctcsound'". I then naively tried to run "pip instal ctcsound" in my
terminal window, but was met with a different error: 
"Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement ctcsound (from
versions: ) 
No matching distribution found for ctcsound" 

So I'm simply stuck very early in the game. How do I install ctcsound? 

Thank you, 
Bo

The versions in sourceforge are very old. Check our csound.github.io for the latest.

Thanks for the quick answers!

I uninstalled csound 6.06 (by deleting all files associated with it) and
installed csound 6.09. Indeed, 6.09 comes with ctcsound as you said. When I
first tried to import ctcsound in Jupyter Notebook I still got an error
because ctcsound wasn't in my python path. So I added the directory of the
ctcsound.py file to my python path (it took me a little while, but I found
the file in
/Library/Frameworks/CsoundLib64.framework/Versions/6.0/Resources/Python/Current/ctcsound.py).

I'm now able to import the module. Is this all I really need to do to use
it, or are there some dependancies I will need to add to the path as well?

Thanks,

Bo

OK great! Numpy and matplotlib are a given. I was worried that there might be
some other custom written modules to include. Thank you for providing us
with this great tool!

Cheers,

Bo
