python-osc
Open Sound Control server and client implementations in pure python (3.4+).
Current status
This library was developped following the specifications at http://opensoundcontrol.org/spec-1_0 and is currently in a stable state.
Features
- UDP blocking/threading/forking/asyncio server implementations
- UDP client
- int, float, string, double, MIDI, timestamps, blob OSC arguments
- simple OSC address<->callback matching system
- extensive unit test coverage
- basic client and server examples
Installation
python-osc is a pure python library that has no external dependencies, to install it just use pip (prefered):
$ pip install python-osc
or from the raw sources for the development version:
$ python setup.py test
$ python setup.py install
Examples
Simple client
"""Small example OSC client
This program sends 10 random values between 0.0 and 1.0 to the /filter address,
waiting for 1 seconds between each value.
"""

parser.add_argument("--ip", default="127.0.0.1",
help="The ip of the OSC server")
parser.add_argument("--port", type=int, default=5005,

Simple server
"""Small example OSC server
This program listens to several addresses, and prints some information about
received packets.
"""

Building bundles
bundle = osc_bundle_builder.OscBundleBuilder(
osc_bundle_builder.IMMEDIATELY)
msg = osc_message_builder.OscMessageBuilder(address="/SYNC")
msg.add_arg(4.0)
# Add 4 messages in the bundle, each with more arguments.
bundle.add_content(msg.build())
msg.add_arg(2)
bundle.add_content(msg.build())
msg.add_arg("value")
bundle.add_content(msg.build())
msg.add_arg(b"\x01\x02\x03")
bundle.add_content(msg.build())
sub_bundle = bundle.build()
# Now add the same bundle inside itself.
bundle.add_content(sub_bundle)
# The bundle has 5 elements in total now.
bundle = bundle.build()
# You can now send it via a client as described in other examples.
