Hi everyone,

Lately, I've been trying to receive messages from pure data in a python script with the os.system module. I've followed this tutorial, but I don't know how to implement the pd receive command in python with the os.system:

Is there any simple and efficient solution to receive messages from pure data in python?

you could send them through the network via osc or fudi protocol.
in pd something like netsend -u 3001
and in python "open udp socket" but am no pro at this and not 100% if its the best method

Thanks @reflect_ , in pure data I have the netsend localhost port object for sending messages to a specific port in the localhost, but then in Python I have no idea of how to receive these messages.

Check pyOSC for receiving OSC messages in Python. Otherwise you can probably use raw_input in Python to receive data from Pd, with the sys package, and then use print in Python to send messages to Pd, which can be received from [ggee/shell].

@JackPD I think (as it says at the end of the link you posted) you could use pdreceive in python.
It is in the "bin" folder of Pd......... Pd/bin.
I have never used it but this might help........ https://www.reddit.com/r/Python/comments/5uhuw0/helpadvice_tips_for_receiving_messages_into/

Might not be the easiest route but this external / lib is really useful for coding in python inside pd: https://github.com/grrrr/py
