py/pytex

I am investigating py/pytex. It took hours to get even as far as i got but now i am stalled. What you download is an py.mxo. Then you need to grab an init file and stick that your init folder. Then you nab the test patch called thread-1 (there isn't a single tar ball you can grab?).

Y also need to be running python 2.6 or no go... so i got 2.6.2 installed.

Now I click the patch which appears to be for a totally different object, but it maybe isn't? It wants a python module named threads... is unhappy you don't have numpy (which is odd cause i actually have numpy so i am confused on that point, but maybe we can ignore that?) ...

but the patch doesn't work cause it expects an object called pyext so your boxes are all greyed out.... but google around and there is nothing called pyext nor have a found ex1...

I am guessing that this is abandonware for max/msp or there is more top secret stuff you need to know to make this work on Max... I am guessing that is also only works for 4.6.x? Are there some better docs and examples for the this?

Anyone have this running? I am on intel 10.5... still running 4.6.x but soon, hopefully diving into max5.

I don't know or use subversion or flext .... i kinda just want a python interpreter running inside Max if at all possible. That would be super dreamy since it would allow me to leverage a lot of existing code and also do things in a small scripts that python is good at (like tuning math, etc.)

help?
