This is amazing, it looks really useful to easily code new sounds, but it seems not in real time?

I would change the name though, with pypy, pypi and pip it seems it will lead to confusion.

Thanks! I’ve been performing with what I like to call a “just-in-real-time” approach with pippi now called Astrid, which allows for live coding (instrument modules reload when the file is saved) MIDI input, etc. It is in a works-for-me state though, and probably won’t be documented and packaged for others until after pippi itself is out of beta... if you are curious though it is here: https://github.com/luvsound/astrid

Edit: but to clarify yes pippi is meant primarily to facilitate writing generative musical scores in python. (Scores which produce sounds, not notation.) I have used it to perform from early on in its development, and IMHO it works fine for this, but the main use case is to render offline audio.
