Pyfmodex

This is pyfmodex, an FMOD Engine Python binding using ctypes.

Installation

To install, first make sure that you have the FMOD Engine library for you platform somewhere in your path, so Python will be able to find it. On Linux, libraries are searched for in LD_LIBRARY_PATH. To download the FMOD Engine library, visit http://www.fmod.org/download. The library is free to download, but requires a free account to be made first.

Then, install pyfmodex via pip, easy_install or the setup.py way. Note that the minimum supported Python version is Python 3.6.

Usage

To verify if everything works, open a Python REPL and try importing pyfmodex:

import pyfmodex

If there is no error: good, it worked. :-)

Playing a sound is a little bit more complicated than the import, but nothing horrible. Try the following simple script:

import pyfmodex

system = pyfmodex.System()
system.init()
sound = system.create_sound("somefile.mp3")
channel = sound.play()

while channel.is_playing:
    pass

Of course, somefile.mp3 must be replaced with something that actually exists. :-)

Note that the while loop is necessary (at least in this simple example) to keep the main thread alive long enough.
