pysox - python bindings for libsox
----------------------------------

Installation from source
------------------------

Required prerequisite are the development libraries of sox at version 14.3.x,
i.e. the header files and libraries to link against.
Specifically you need sox.h in your include path and libsox.so and libsox.a in your link path.
Pysox will not compile against any sox version prior to 14.3.0.

Then simply run::

	python setup.py build

	python setup.py install

Usage
-----
See the examples included in the source, or the api doc at http://packages.python.org/pysox/ ::

	import pysox

	#open an audio file
	testwav = pysox.CSoxStream("test.wav")
	#create an audio file with the same parameters as the input file
	out = pysox.CSoxStream('out.wav', 'w', testwav.get_signal())

	#create an effects chain using the signal and encoding parameters of our files
	chain = pysox.CEffectsChain(testwav, out)
	chain.add_effect(pysox.CEffect("vol",[b'18db']))
	chain.flow_effects()
	#cleanup
	out.close()


Python 3
--------
This package is compatible with python 3, tested on 2.6.6, 2.7.1, 3.0.1, 3.1.3 and 3.2.
