PyOPL: OPL2/3 emulation for Python

http://www.github.com/Malvineous/pyopl

PyOPL is a simple wrapper around an OPL synthesiser so that it can be accessed from within Python. It uses the DOSBox synth, which has been released under the GPL license.

PyOPL does not include any audio output mechanism, it simply converts register and value pairs into PCM data. The example programs use PyAudio for audio output. Note that PyGame is not suitable for this as it lacks a method for streaming audio generated on-the-fly, and faking it by creating new Sound objects is unreliable as they do not always queue correctly.

To install it:

pip install PyOPL

The code is compiled like this:

pip install build
python -m build

Install the build wheel:

python -m pip install .

This library is released under the GPLv3 license.
