On that note, I’m hesitant between writing my scripts in perl or python right now. Bash prevent sharing with Windows peoples… I just want to provide easy wrappers tools that are usually aroud 10 lines of shell, but testers ain’t on linux so they cannot use them.
I don’t know perl, but each time I interract with pyton’s projects I have a different venv/poetry/… to setup. Forget adout it the next time and nothing is kept easy to reuse.
Yeah, I’d rather register cls play <id, name or path> in streampi or other macro box.
Especially if cls let me add new sounds and configure things easily.
Like I see having multiples “public laughing”, so when starting the sound any can be played. Which provide a bit of variety in the stream. And allow to repeat the sound for a longer effect on the fly without being too repetitive.
I read that global hotkey is not possible in Wayland. Or, at least, not as easily as with XOrg. Did you achived it ? Can you link to where you are doing it in your code please ? I’m curious, especially since its the first time I heard global hotkeys from a terminal program.
I try not to use global hotkeys myself. Do you have another way of controlling the soundboard ? Either from websocket, DBus, launching a command, … I like to use streampi1 (open source streamdeck clone) for streaming and it may use any of this interraction methods. (Websocket may require to write a plugin for yëur program.)
1 Streampi as stopped developpment for now in its v2 snapshots. Still usable. But the dev want to rewrite in C++/Qt for a v3.
This is the issue for us, python outsiders. Each time we try we get a different answer with new tools. We are outside of the comtunity, we don’t know the trend, old and new, pro and cons.
Your first recommandation is hatch… first time I’ve heard of it. Uv seems trendy in this thread, but before that it was unknown to me too.
As I understands it, it should be pip’s job. When it detect I’m in a project it install packages in it and python use them. It can use any tool under the hood, but the default package manager shoud be able to do it on its own.
