Hi Alex. Here's some help to get your python environment up and smoothly
running. Give it a try and let me know if it works for you.
1. select the my computer icon on your desktop, or alternatively go to your
control panel and choose system.
2. press the context menu key if you're on the my computer icon on your
desktop, or press enter if you're at the control panel/system.
3. arrow up or down until you hear properties on the desktop my computer icon.
If you're on the control panel/system, then arrow right until your hear
advanced. same goes for the desktop scenario.
4. now for both cases, tab to environment variable, then press the space
button to evoke it.
6. now, what you really want to achieve is to put, in this case python, onto
your system's environment path, so tab to system variables, then tab to the
list box which contains all the system variables available to you and select
path.
7. Now, tab to the edit button.
9. when you press the space bar to evoke it, you'll see a long line of
installed programs already present in your system environment path, and this is
where you'll add your python environment.
11. at the end of
the line, type the following. I am assuming that your python software
resides in your c drive, and that you want to put your python2.6 into your
system's environment path, so type the following line into your environment
path edit textbox:
;c:\python26;c:\python26\lib;c:\python26\scripts
11. tab to ok and press space bar, then press ok again, and finally press ok
again to exit the system properties.
12. now to test if the instructions work, go to your command prompt. type
python -v. If you see a message telling you of your python version and all
it's commands and coordinates, the congrats! you have python on your path and
can start programming in python. Cheers!

I got it. I used the cmd.exe command to run python.exe and manually passed it
my path/file.py arg, and it worked. Not as good as having python.exe on the
search path, but at least I can run things.
Have a great day,
Alex

Hi,
I am not sure how to help with that. I use Linux, so I just type python
and the file name, and it just works.

I downloaded the tutorials (2 .py files) but they do not work. I know
this is a basic question, but I never seem to get it right: how do I tell
edSharp to run these py files? It says that python.exe is not on the search
path.
Have a great day,

the Mixer is a media player with multple channels. If you keep track
of each channel you are using, you can do things like start, stop, change
volume, set playback position, get length of the file, etc. The creater of
Soundrts has a small tutorial. Be sure to read the comments too because there
are some helpful tidbits ther as well The tutorial is at:

I could be completely wrong, but from the little reading I have done
so far, it would seem that the mixer is like a media player. You should
be able to set the volume, but I can't find a reference to how this is
done...I'll try googling for it. Again, this could be completely wrong...
