python-osc 1.6.3

Open Sound Control server and client implementations in pure python (3.4+).

Current status

This library was developped following the specifications at http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0 and is currently in a stable state.

Features

• UDP blocking/threading/forking/asyncio server implementations
• UDP client
• int, float, string, blob OSC arguments
• simple OSC address<->callback matching system
• extensive unit test coverage
• basic client and server examples

Installation

python-osc is a pure python library that has no external dependencies, to install it just use pip (prefered):

$ pip install python-osc

or from the raw sources for the development version:

$ python setup.py test
$ python setup.py install

Examples

Simple client

"""Small example OSC client

This program sends 10 random values between 0.0 and 1.0 to the /filter address,
waiting for 1 seconds between each value.
"""
import argparse
import random
import time

  parser.add_argument("--ip", default="127.0.0.1",

  parser.add_argument("--port", type=int, default=5005,

Simple server

"""Small example OSC server

This program listens to several addresses, and prints some information about
received packets.
