pdpy

pdpy is a python package that allows you to make and edit Pure Data (Pd) patches directly from python code. You can also translate Pd files to other container files such as json, pickle, or xml. The core library consists of a set of Classes, plus some utility functions.

Hint

For example, the pdpy_lib.patching.patch.Patch class allows you to run the newly created patch using the embedded Pd engine libpd. See the Libpd example for more.

Note

This project is under active development. PRs are welcome!
