Python tools for analysing and working with audio.

This repository contains utilities and algorithms for use in the Dunya project (https://github.com/MTG/dunya, http://dunya.compmusic.upf.edu), but is separate to make it easier to develop.

Dunya and pycompmusic have been developed by a number of people in the CompMusic project. For a list of contributors see the AUTHORS file. Dunya includes methods and techniques developed as part of CompMusic. For a list of publications see http://compmusic.upf.edu/node/4.

It is recommended to install pycompmusic and dependencies into a virtualenv. Do it like this:

virtualenv env
source env/bin/activate
python setup.py install

If you want to be able to edit files and have the changes be reflected, then install compmusic like this instead

pip install -e .

You need to install some other dependencies as well. If you are using Ubuntu then it's recommended you use the system versions of numpy and scipy so that you don't need to compile them from scratch. Do that like this:

sudo apt-get install python-numpy python-scipy
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/numpy* env/lib/python2.7/site-packages
ln -s /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/scipy* env/lib/python2.7/site-packages

You need to do the same with essentia:

ln -s /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/essentia env/lib/python2.7/site-packages

Now you can install the rest of the dependencies:

pip install -r requirements

There are sphinx docs available in the docs directory. To compile them, run make html from the root directory. You need to be able to import each module in order to be able to do the autodocs. This means that you will need all the dependencies available in the python path. One way to do this is to use python from a virtualenv directly:

env/bin/python /usr/bin/sphinx-build -b html -d build/doctrees docs build/html

Or install sphinx in the virtualenv
