Hi Eelke, You can certainly use pyglet for this kind of project. I would recommend getting a prototype going first, using PC keyboard input. Most of the work will be graphical, so you can add a library for reading Midi commands after you get something going. To start, you will need to understand some OpenGL, but the pyglet.graphics module will take most of the pain out of working with the actual OpenGL primitives. Give this a read over, and post back if you have any questions. We're always interested in improving the documentation : https://pyglet.readthedocs.io/en/latest/programming_guide/graphics.html
You can also check out this example in the repo as well: https://bitbucket.org/pyglet/pyglet/src/89bc2c4825e13a73ed156d3232159cb481aabc9d/examples/graphics.py?at=default&fileviewer=file-view-default You might want to make some template classes for the various shapes, similar to the Torus. For a project of this scale, keep it simple and just use GL_LINES and GL_TRIANGLES for everything. This is an interesting sounding project. If you plan to make this open source, you should post a link to your repository. -Ben On Monday, February 5, 2018 at 2:53:27 AM UTC+9, Eelke Johnson wrote: > > Hi community! > > I'm a newbie and a muscician and I want to programm a live python midi > interface to visualize my favourite song when I play it on my keyboard. > I've started learning python, installed Ubuntu, configured my > environnement and searched for online libraries. > I found here <https://wiki.python.org/moin/GuiProgramming> those > libraries: > > > > > *-pygame-pyglet-pyopengl*My purpose was to use pygame's midi librairies > to listen to my keyboard and use pyopengl for the graphics. > The problem was that I didn't found anywhere sufficient documentation for > learning pyopengl and I gave up until I discovered Piglet! > > > I'm not sure if I can implement the pygame's midi library and integrate it > with piglet.
