Python bindings for the liblo OSC library

pyliblo3

This is a fork of the original bindings for liblo, making it pip installable.

The provided wheels include the liblo library and don't have any further dependencies, making it completely pip installable

Example

Simple blocking server

import pyliblo3 as liblo
server = liblo.Server(8080)

def test_handler(path, args, types, src):
    print(args)
    
server.add_method("/test", None, test_handler)

while True:
    server.recv(100)

Threaded server

from pyliblo3 import *
import time


class MyServer(ServerThread):
    def __init__(self, port=1234):
        ServerThread.__init__(self, port)

    @make_method('/foo', 'ifs')
    def foo_callback(self, path, args):
        i, f, s = args
        print(f"Received message '{path}' with arguments: {i=}, {f=}, {s=}")

    @make_method(None, None)
    def fallback(self, path, args):
        print(f"received unknown message '{path}' with {args=}")


server = MyServer()
server.start()
print(f"Server started in its own thread, send messages to {server.port}. Use CTRL-C to stop")

while True:
    send(("127.0.0.0", server.port), "/foo", 10, 1.5, "bar")
    send(("127.0.0.0", server.port), "/unknown", (3, 4))
    time.sleep(1)
