pyext for Pure Data

I decided I prefer writing normal logic in a language I'm used to, so I went looking for a Python-external for Pure Data. And sure enough, I found [Thomas Grill][1]'s [py/pyext][2] (built upon flext, a C layer for Python externals). I didn't figure out how to install the binaries (didn't take the time to experiment) so I just compiled them up. Works great. :-)

pyExt

Thought you'd might want to see just how simple it is: my pyext example for Pure Data. I'm planning to make an object that takes in a floating point number of frequency height and determines what note it is and the amount of error according to different scale temperaments, i.e. Valotti, Werkmeister 3, Kirnberger, Meantone and Equal tempering.

I loved this dodgy bathroom mirror. But I need to pay better attention to my camera, I'd left it on 3200 ISO.
