What is it?

This module is an implementation of Open Sound Control (OSC) message transport protocol within a Python3 package.

Manage different sides of OSC in possibly different contexts:

• encoding/decoding of OSC message packets (including bundles)

• routing of incoming messages based on selector regexps or globbing

• timed messages with possible delay period

• named client/server for sending/subscribing

• different scheduling models (single process, totally multithread, only multithread for communications)

• extra processing of packets (hack points to encrypt/decrypt, sign/verify…)

Note: routing, timed messages, named client/server, scheduling models make a complex system (see the “big picture” in doc). The oscbuildparse module of osc4py3 package can be used as is and provides nice OSC packets encoding/decoding functions usable in your own message transmission scheme.

Installation

Unless someone built a package for your OS distro, the simplest procedure is to use pip to install the module:

pip install osc4py3

If you have no admin access to install things on you computer, you may install a virtualenv and run pip inside this virtual env, or you can do a local user installation:

pip install –user osc4py3
