Re: [PD] [PD-announce] pdlua and tclpd: now embedded in Pd-extended 0.43
I'm thinking about using lua to build an interpreter for my Click Tracker (http://code.google.com/p/clicktracker/), so it's great that this is working. Can you recomend any good lua tutorial? That would be a good resource to have in the documentation, I guess (same goes for a tcl tutorial). There are two new, easy ways to write objects for Pd: tclpd by Federico Ferri and pdlua by Claude Heiland-Allen, Frank Barknecht and Martin Peach. Both are now included in Pd-extended 0.43 and are automatically loaded at startup. That means you can write a script in Lua or Tcl and have that script be a true object in Pd. Both pdlua and tclpd provide the large majority of the Pd externals API, and you can even write GUI objects using tclpd. Tcl and Lua both excel at handling strings, one thing that Pd is not the best at, so if you have a project that needs to parse or manage a lot of strings, then you have a new approach. There are some other ways of using other languages to write objects for Pd: pyext for Python and pdj for Java. These two are different in a key way than pdlua and tclpd. pyext and pdj allow you to load scripts into an object called [pyext] or [pdj]. tclpd and pdlua let you create full Pd objects that are completely transparent to the user. You create an object written in tclpd or pdlua just like any other Pd object, and those objects can have their own help patch too. Both pdlua and tclpd come with a lot of examples, go to the Help Browser and find them in the list of libraries there. I also started writing the 'tclfile' library to bring the Tcl file API to Pd: http://puredata.info/downloads/tclfile .hc ___ Pd-announce mailing list pd-annou...@iem.at http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-announce ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list -- Friedenstr. 58 10249 Berlin (Deutschland) Tel +49 30 42020091 | Mob +49 162 6843570 Studio +49 30 69509190 jmmmp...@googlemail.com | skype: jmmmpjmmmp ___ Pd-list@iem.at mailing list UNSUBSCRIBE and account-management - http://lists.puredata.info/listinfo/pd-list

Can you recomend any good lua tutorial? Take the blue PIL! http://www.lua.org/pil/ For starters the online 1st edition is fine, but I still recommend to buy the second edition: The PIL is one of the best books on programming in general in my opinion, and you will probably learn a lot that you can use in other languages as well.

[...] I was so excited to try tclpd, that even though pd 0.43 happens not to work under my user account, I gave it a go under another account. Let me share my not so merry experience, and sorry if it goes beyond tclpd itself. So this a user account that never ran pd-extended, although it (latest autobuild) is already installed on the machine (Ubuntu Lucid). I start a new patch and try to create [tclpd], i get this error: maximum object loading depth 1000 reached tclpd ... couldn't create I quit so I can add tclpd to the preferences file, but I find there is no .pdextended file. I go to preferences, it lets me add the path to tclpd, I click Apply, OK. As we, the well-connected know it now, this has no practical effect - except that it seems that on quit, a new default .pdextended is created - with no reference to tclpd however. I open .pdextended in a text editor and add tclpd to the only list there is: 'loadlib'. I go back to pd, [tclpd] still won't create. Back to text editor, copy-paste 'path' section of another user's .pdextended into this one, add tclpd. Back to pd, [tclpd] still won't create. This is where I am now. Please tell me if I'm doing anything wrong and/or if I shall file any of this as a bug.

pdlua and tclpd. clll.. Pd: pyext for Python any chance for this in extended? there was some issue on the list about this a while ago no? but i have forgot. unless im just having a flashback. m On Sun, Feb 26, 2012 at 8:15 PM, Hans-Christoph Steiner h...@at.or.at wrote: There are two new, easy ways to write objects for Pd: tclpd by Federico Ferri and pdlua by Claude Heiland-Allen, Frank Barknecht and Martin Peach.
