Hi all!
Can somebody suggest documentation (or just suggesting an "how to do that") about using Csound within Python? I'd just want to write instruments and scores as I would in Csound but within Python.
I already know that there are Csound modules called csnd6 and ctcsound (that come within Csound installation), but I can't get the properly way on making them interacting with a Python script. I don't understand how to install this module (if possible to do that). I tried as usually the installation with pip install from terminal, but when I use on a python script, using PyCharm  (import csnd6 or ctcsound) I get....no module named csnd6 or ctcsound. 
I'm running Csound 6.11 (installed from the .pkg), Python 3.7.2 (installed from sources) on a Mac OSx 10.14 (Mojave).
Thank you so much in advance.
Salvatore

anaconda when activated changes the PYTHON_PATH variable for the process 
[ie. a shell] so that it points to your own private version of python. 
it doesn't do this globally.

if you were to install csound (from the terminal) after activating your 
environment, it should put the modules in the right place.

this can be tricky if you have to sudo to install csound. if thats the 
case then from the terminal i would try as a strategy, _roughly_

sudo su
source activate
and run the csound installer.
