(update: So far, the tools are painfully slow under Macports. Ubuntu performance is way faster.)
https://github.com/MTG/sms-tools
These tools are used in: Audio Signal Processing for Music Applications by Prof Xavier Serra, Prof Julius O Smith, III. Sms-tools was designed to run in Ubuntu Linux. After many failed attempts, it is now running in Mac OS 10.9 using macports. Although the performance is better way better using Ubuntu – on the same Macbook.
I had tried using Anaconda – but ran into problems installing pygame.
Assuming that you already know how to install macports. Then install all the python modules described at the sms-tools github page. The macports versions of the modules are prefixed by py27- , For example:
- py27-cython
- py27-game
- py27-matplotlib
- py27-ipython
also used: sudo easy_install cython
After installing all of the modules, then clone the sms-tools repository and recompile the Cython functions. You will get a screen full of warnings – but it shouldn’t matter.
How to install ipython on Mac OS X
Using Anaconda

Note: I have subsequently uninstalled anaconda and am using the macports version of ipython (py27-ipython) because I was not able to get the pygame module running under anaconda.

python Osc libraries (pyosc)
[update] using pyOsc – there are examples in tkzic/python-api/pyOSC_examples
This appears to work fine with tests sending to Max
The three libs that seem to be in use…
pyOsc, simple Osc, liblo
download pyOSC

Installing pycurl on Mac Os
notes
update: 11/1/2014 installed version 7.19.5 using easy_install
Here’s the website: http://pycurl.sourceforge.net
It worked. Because xCode was installed?
sudo env ARCHFLAGS="-arch x86_64" /usr/bin/easy_install setuptools pycurl==7.19.0
Here are instructions, but really all I needed was the above command

Local file examples in tkzic/python-api/
There are other Python libs like request, human curl, urllib….
