Install :
in the command line / terminal type 'python setup.py install'. In Unix systems you might need to have root permissions. Windows users can also just copy the simpleOSC.py file into C:/python/2.x/Lib/site-packages


Description:
The main aim is to provide with a simple way to deal with the OSC implementation that makes life easier to newcomers or students. Therefore SimpleOSC is a very simple (and *limited*) API for the Open Sound Control for Python (by V2 --> https://trac.v2.nl/wiki/pyOSC). You must have pyOSC installed for this module to run. We provide with functions to perform the most basic OSC send and receive.

Previous versions of simpleOSC were based on OSC.py by Daniel Holth, Clinton McChesney.


How to use:
First you need to download and install pyOSC from https://trac.v2.nl/wiki/pyOSC
Once you have that installed you can start checking the examples provided in SimpleOSC. You can install the module with python setup.py install or you can just place the simpleOSC.py file next to your files
or you copy it manually into the python site-packages folder (if you know where this lives in your system. Note that firewalls and routers tend to block nerwork ports for security. Make sure you use ports that are open for the OSC comunication.

For more details on simpleOSC check its documentation.
