ableton-live-stubs 12.1.0

PEP 561 type stubs for Ableton Live's Python API (for MIDI Remote Script developers)

ableton-live-stubs

PEP 561 type stubs for Ableton Live 12.1.0's Python API (Live.* modules).

These stubs are for developers building MIDI Remote Scripts (Control Surfaces) that run inside Ableton Live's embedded Python runtime. They provide type information for the Live module that Live exposes to scripts at runtime but is not available for static analysis outside of Live.

Installation

pip install ableton-live-stubs

Usage

Once installed, type checkers (pyright, mypy) automatically discover the Live module stubs. No configuration needed.

from Live.Application import Application
from Live.Song import Song
from Live.Track import Track

Manual setup (without pip)

Download the zip from the GitHub release and add the extracted Live/ directory to your type checker's search path:

// pyrightconfig.json
{
  "extraPaths": ["path/to/Live-stubs"]
}

Version matching

Each release of ableton-live-stubs corresponds to a specific Ableton Live version. Install the version that matches your target Live version — the API surface changes between releases.

Documentation

For detailed API documentation — including property restrictions (e.g. which track/clip types support a given property), valid input ranges, and observable properties — see the LiveAPI reference.
