Wwise Authoring API (Waapi) Client for Python

Decoupled autobahn WAMP client with support for plain options and bindable subscription callbacks.

Requirements

• Non-EOL Python 3.x version (see tox.ini for versions tested). Refer to the official Status of Python versions
• Wwise instance with the Wwise Authoring API enabled (Project > User Preferences... > Enable Wwise Authoring API)

Setup

On Windows, it is recommended to use the Python Launcher for Windows which is installed with Python 3 from python.org.

• Windows: py -3 -m pip install waapi-client
• Other platforms: python3 -m pip install waapi-client

Usage

from waapi import WaapiClient

with WaapiClient() as client:
    result = client.call("ak.wwise.core.getInfo")

The with statement automatically closes the connection and unregisters subscribers. To keep the connection alive, instantiate WaapiClient and call disconnect when you are done.

from waapi import WaapiClient

# Connect (default URL)
client = WaapiClient()

# RPC
result = client.call("ak.wwise.core.getInfo")

# Subscribe
handler = client.subscribe(
    "ak.wwise.core.object.created",
    lambda object: print("Object created: " + str(object))
)

# Bind a different callback at any time
def my_callback(object):
    print("Different callback: " + str(object))

handler.bind(my_callback)

# Unsubscribe
handler.unsubscribe()

# Disconnect
client.disconnect()

Be aware that failing to call disconnect will result in the program to appear unresponsive, as the background thread running the connection will remain active.
