Dear Pure Data Community,

I have a patch that allows me to capture audio from a microphone connected to my computer and send it to a speaker over the network, using concepts like IP and port.

I would like to do this using the python language, without having to open the patch in Pd. It is possible?

What do you mean exactly? You want to open a Pd patch in Python, or you want to run Pd without the GUI and control it from Python?

@romulovieira-me Pd patches can only be executed in Pd or forks like Purr Data. They are just text files. You can view them in a text editor.

@alexandros Look, I have this mic patch (mic.pd) and this speaker patch (speaker.pd ). I would like to send the microphone audio over the network (note I use an IP address and a destination port) controlling it in Python, without Pd GUI.
It is possible?

thanks!!!

@romulovieira-me Understood.....
Do the patches work.... do they already send the audio and receive it correctly?

What do you want python to control?
The connection?
The volume?
Something else?

To do that there is some help here for Python...... https://guitarextended.wordpress.com/2012/11/03/make-python-and-pure-data-communicate-on-the-raspberry-pi/
You use [netreceive] in Pd to receive the control messages.
You need to search in your Pd installation for a binary...... pdsend.exe (for windows) or the equivalent for Linux (probably pdsend.linux) or for the Mac. It needs to be copied somewhere where Python will find it as it will be called by the Python script as you will see in that example.

BUT....... you can also send the control messages using OSC as you saw in you previous thread...... https://forum.pdpatchrepo.info/topic/13357/how-to-send-pure-data-osc-message-to-python

Or do you want python to be a "man in the middle"?
You would need Python to be able to receive and resend audio....... and need to look on a Python forum to find out how to do that (if it is even possible).

I stream directly from windows (using the net library object [udpsend~]... from a 32-bit Pd...) and receive on my RPI using [udpreceive~] 64-bit version that I have included in the zip below.
To send from 64-bit Pd I think you would need the MrPeach library to use [udpsend~] in windows........ For Linux I have included a folder "net" from which you can build both....... using the makefile inside...... for your system.
Examples also included.......
audio_over_udp.zip

To remove the Pd GUI use the -nogui command line switch that you can put in the "startup flags" box at the bottom of the Pd ....file.... preferences.... "startup" window that you find in the console top menu.
When you restart Pd the GUI will be gone.

@whale-av Hello! Glad to see you again.

Yes, my patches work fine and I can send audio over the network.
I just wanted to send the "connect" message through a python script, not needing to do this via Pd.

I will read the tutorials you sent me and run new tests.

Thank you for your help
