[repost in case attachment message got blocked] Ok, another question regarding getting sound_lib to work on this other machine. As in, on my windows7 32 bit machine it seems to be workable after I got hold of the distribute package, and then executed setup.py in the sound_lib folder with the install command, but on this 64 bit windows7 machine, it returns the contents of the attached text file if I try to run the same setup.py install command. In case the attached text file doesn't come through, it can also be downloaded from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13327195/sl.txt Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...'----- Original Message ----- From: "Q" <q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Jacob, You are ... Not quite going about this in the correct way.You should install Distribute, available from http://pypi.python.org/pypi/distribute This will provide the setuptools package, which is used to install most modern Python packages.Once this is done, navigate to the folder and run: python setup.py installwhich will actually install the library into your site-packages directory and add it to the global package registry. As for documentation, I must admit that sound_libs is limited, but here's the general idea:Bass, the underlying library provides functions such asBASS_ChannelPlay, which takes as an argument the handle of a channel to play. The library models a pseudo-OO structure, with output streams and recordings inheriting the methods of channels, so I followed this in my wrapper. So once you instantiate, for instance, a sound_lib.stream.FileStream object, you can then call play on this object and it will call BASS_ChannelPlay with the channel's handle, which the object stores upon instantiation. Furthermore, Bass has many getters and setters which I have replaced with Python properties--so instead of calling BASS_ChannelSetAttribute(<channel_handle>, BASS_AttribPan, -1.0)you can just go: channel.pan = -1I hope this is enough to get you started, and if you have any more questions feel free to contact me off-list.Q On 6/14/2011 8:25 AM, Jacob Kruger wrote:Ok, think figured it out since see that there's a main.py file in actual sound_lib subdirectory, so can copy that folder/directory over wherever and then reference it and the objects/modules under there from within python interpreter, using import statement, and see there's also a .chm help file there, so let me play around a bit.Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message --------------- Subject: Re: Panning Sounds From: Jacob Kruger<jacobk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 14:04:08 +0200 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxOk, if I want to try implement use of your soundlib library, how do I get it to execute the setup.py code since when I tried it under python 2.7, I first had to change the first line to in fact import setup from distutils.core - as opposed to setuptools, but distutils.core doesn't seem to have any find_packages inside/underneath it?Do I need to run this under a different version of python, or do I not really need to run setup.py to actually make use of this under python itsself, and in that case, which modules should I initially try importing then, and/or where should I copy the contents of the .gz file I downloaded to under python27's installation directory?Sorry, but am still relatively new to python itsself, and hence am rather asking these questions.Stay well Jacob Kruger Blind Biker Skype: BlindZA '...fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' ----- Original Message --------------- Subject: Re: Panning Sounds From: Q<q@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 14 Jun 2011 07:27:41 -0400 To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxxIf you want to perform this programmatically, use my sound_lib package http://hg.qwitter-client.net/sound_libAnd set the .pan property of the sound from -1 to 1 with 0 being the middle.If you're looking to just modify sounds, grab Audacity (the 1.3 beta, open the sound, and use I believe shift+p on the track, or effects, pan...
