Python aubio module
===================

This module wraps the aubio library for python using the numpy module.

See the [Python/C API Reference
Manual] (http://docs.python.org/c-api/index.html) and the [Numpy/C API
Reference](http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/c-api.html)

Compiling python aubio
----------------------

You should be able to build the aubio python module out of the box:

    $ python setup.py build

To use the python module without installing it, set PYTHONPATH:

    $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PWD/`ls -rtd build/lib.* | head -1`:$PWD/tests

And LD_LIBRARY_PATH:

    $ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/../build/src

Or on macosx systems:

    $ export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD/../build/src

The you should be able to run the tests:

    $ ./tests/run_all_tests

And to try out the demos:

    $ ./demos/demo_source.wav ~/test.wav

Additional tools
----------------

To use some of the demo scripts, you will need
[matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/).
