Python module
=============
+The aubio extension for Python is available for Python 2.7 and Python 3.
+
Installing aubio with pip
-------------------------
-.. code-block:: bash
+aubio can now be installed using ``pip``:
+
+.. code-block:: console
$ pip install aubio
From ``aubio`` source directory, run the following:
-.. code-block:: bash
+.. code-block:: console
$ ./setup.py clean
$ ./setup.py build
Using aubio in python
---------------------
-Once you have python-aubio installed, you should be able to run ``python -c
-"import aubio"``.
+Once the python module is installed, its version can be checked with:
+
+.. code-block:: console
-A very simple example
-.....................
+ $ python -c "import aubio; print(aubio.version, aubio.float_type)"
-Here is a very simple script
-to read all the samples from a media file:
+The command line `aubio` is also installed:
-.. code-block:: python
+.. code-block:: console
- #! /usr/bin/env python
- import aubio
+ $ aubio -h
- s = aubio.source(sys.argv[1], 0, 256)
- while True:
- samples, read = s()
- #print(samples)
- if read < 256: break
+A simple example
+................
+
+Here is a :download:`simple script <../python/demos/demo_source_simple.py>`
+that reads all the samples from a media file:
+
+.. literalinclude:: ../python/demos/demo_source_simple.py
+ :language: python
Filtering an input sound file
.............................
-Here is a more complete example, `demo_filter.py`_. This files executes the following:
+Here is a more complete example, :download:`demo_filter.py
+<../python/demos/demo_filter.py>`. This files executes the following:
* read an input media file (``aubio.source``)
-* filter it using an A-weighting filter (``aubio.digital_filter``)
+* filter it using an `A-weighting <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A-weighting>`_
+ filter (``aubio.digital_filter``)
* write result to a new file (``aubio.sink``)
A number of `python tests`_ are provided. To run them, use
``python/tests/run_all_tests``.
