I don't know if there already is an interactive OSC shell the way you describe, but you may want to take a look at pyliblo (http://das.nasophon.de/pyliblo/). It's an OSC module for Python, and also includes two scripts, send_osc.py and dump_osc.py, which implement most of the functionality of sendOSC and dumpOSC, in just a few lines of Python code. It wouldn't be difficult to build something that can both send and receive messages, possibly using Python's readline module. Actually, depending on your needs, you could just use pyliblo in an interactive Python interpreter, giving you readline editing and lots of other possibilities for free: >>> from liblo import * >>> >>> class Dump(ServerThread): ... @make_method(None, None) ... def callback(self, path, args): ... print path, args ... >>> s = Dump(1234) >>> s.start() >>> >>> s.send(1234, '/foo', 23, 42, 'bar') >>> /foo [23, 42, 'bar'] Of course this is just a minimal example, sending one message to itself, but there's a lot more you can do in an interactive Python session :) Dominic _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/linux-audio-user
