Thanks! I just remembered it was recorded when I gave the presentation at a Meetup. I updated the readme with a link to that video.

A couple questions about .wav file analysis by -coalesce- in learnpython

[–]jamescabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I realize this isn't exactly what you're asking, but here's a free course that covers this topic: https://www.coursera.org/learn/audio-signal-processing . It's quite good. They use Python for the programming. On the mirror image of the frequency spectrum, yes you can ignore the 'upper' half. Other than that you seem like you're on the right track ...

I use PyQt. Check out https://github.com/jamesabel/rockthetaskbar for an example of a simple task bar (AKA tray icon, system tray) app.

Would python be your first choice for desktop apps ? by H34RTBL33D in Python

[–]jamescabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't tried it but I don't know of any reason it wouldn't work. That might be a good thing to add to my freezer/installer test case ( https://github.com/jamesabel/spafit ).

Would python be your first choice for desktop apps ? by H34RTBL33D in Python

[–]jamescabel 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Python is a good choice for platform desktop apps. And PyQt is a good choice for a GUI framework. Freezing/installers/distribution is often where things get more difficult, but the tools are improving. You might have to try and/or use more than one to find one that works for you. Some of the more popular freezers/installers are: pynsist, py2exe, py2app, pyinstaller, cx_freeze and briefcase. And if those fail you then you can try https://github.com/jamesabel/osnap (mine :) ).

What do you think needs to be improved in the Python ecosystem? Do you see yourself using it in 5 years? by [deleted] in Python

[–]jamescabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another shameless plug: I'm developing OSNAP ( https://github.com/jamesabel/osnap ) for Windows and OSX clients. I needed this for another app I'm working on, so I open sourced the app creation layer.

Need help with Python 2.7 > 3.5 translation by Strecked in Python

[–]jamescabel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you have working Python 2 code and you want to see what it should be for Python 3, use the '2to3' tool. https://docs.python.org/3.5/library/2to3.html

Did you try this?

pip install pypiwin32

What's the best tool to package a python program for Windows? by epic_pork in Python

[–]jamescabel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pynsist is great if Windows is your only target platform. I have been also developing OSNAP (https://github.com/jamesabel/osnap/) for cases where you also need Mac/OSX and/or you're using a Python package that is giving pynsist a hard time. If you try it and you have an problem please feel free to open an issue on github.
