    44This module wraps the aubio library for Python using the numpy module.
    55
     6Using the Python aubio module
     7-----------------------------
     8
     9After installing python-aubio, you will be able to import the aubio module:
     10
     11    $ python
     12    [...]
     13    >>> import aubio
     14    >>> help(aubio.miditofreq)
     15
     16Finding some inspiration
     17------------------------
     18
     19Some examples are available in the `python/demos` directory. These scripts are
     20small programs written in python and using python-aubio.
     21
     22For instance, `demo_source.py` reads a media file.
     23
     24    $ ./python/demos/demo_source.py /path/to/sound/sample.wav
     25
     26and `demo_timestretch_online.py` stretches the original file into a new one:
     27
     28    $ ./python/demo/demo_timestretch_online.py loop.wav stretched_loop.wav 0.92`
     29
     30Note: you might need to install additional modules to run some of the demos.
     31Some demos use [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) to draw plots, others use
     32[PySoundCard](https://github.com/bastibe/PySoundCard) to play and record
     33sounds.
     34
     35Testing the Python module
     36-------------------------
     37
     38To run the all the python tests, use the script:
     39
     40    $ ./python/tests/run_all_tests
     41
     42Each test script can also be called one at a time. For instance:
     43
     44    $ ./python/tests/test_note2midi.py -v
     45
     46Install in a virtualenv
     47-----------------------
     48
     49You should be able to install python-aubio directly from the top source
     50directory of aubio.
     51
     52First, create a virtualenv to hold the required python module:
     53
     54    $ virtualenv pyaubio
     55    $ source pyaubio/bin/activate
     56
     57Now install and build the python extension using:
     58
     59    $ pip install .
     60
     61Install requirements
     62--------------------
     63
    664Before compiling this module, you must have compiled libaubio.
     65
     66A simple way to do this is with pip:
     67
     68    $ pip install -r requirements.txt
    769
    870For more information about how this module works, please refer to the [Python/C
     
    1375----------------------
    1476
    15 After libaubio has been build successfully, and provided Python development
    16 headers and numpy can be found on your system, you should be able to build the
    17 aubio Python module:
     77To build the aubio Python module, run the following command from the top source
     78directory of aubio:
    1879
    1980    $ ./setup.py build
     81
     82Note: if libaubio was previously built using waf, the script will use it.
     83Otherwise, the entire library will be built inside the python extension.
    2084
    2185To find out more about `setup.py` options:
     
    3094    $ ./setup.py install
    3195
    32 Using the Python module
    33 -----------------------
    34 
    35 Once the aubio library and the Python module are installed, you will be able to
    36 import the aubio module:
    37 
    38     $ python
    39     [...]
    40     >>> import aubio
    41     >>>
    42 
    4396Alternatively, you may want to use the Python module without installing it by
    44 setting PYTHONPATH:
     97setting your PYTHONPATH, for instance as follows:
    4598
    4699    $ export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:$PWD/`ls -rtd build/lib.* | head -1`:$PWD/tests
    47100
    48 Testing the Python module
    49 -------------------------
    50 
    51 Once both the C library and the Python module have been built correctly, and
    52 after you have installed them (or setting the environment variable correctly),
    53 you should be able to run the tests:
    54 
    55     $ ./tests/run_all_tests
    56 
    57 And to try out the demos:
    58 
    59     $ ./demos/demo_source.py /path/to/sound/sample.wav
    60 
    61 You need to install additional modules to run some of the demos. For
    62 instance, several demos use [matplotlib](http://matplotlib.org/) to draw plots.
    63 Some more demos use [PySoundCard](https://github.com/bastibe/PySoundCard) to
    64 play and record sounds.
