Hi Ben, the only ways are the object creation arguments and the reload message, which resets these arguments. Using reload, you might be able to get the strings into python (probably using tosymbol or sprintf). Naturally i would prefer a PD supporting escaping of special characters in symbols.
best greetings, Thomas

Hey Thomas,
Is there a way I can get access to the args in the object box, as apposed to the args to the method selectors?
py pt dirlist fx/* /Applications/PixelTANGO/...
How do I get "fx/*" and "/Applications/...." inside the python script?
Thanks!

Hi,
I'm very much a PD newbie and more or less a Linux newbie, and am having trouble getting a new PD installation to play nice with ALSA (or is it the other way around?)
I am running Debian sid (kernel 2.6.10-K7), with PD installed via apt-get (0.38.4+amidi-1)
When I try to start PD, it returns the following in the terminal:
~$ pd -alsa ALSA lib seq-hw.c:446:(snd_seq_hw_open) open /dev/snd/seq failed: No such file or directory Pd: system called timed out
Other sound apps seem to be working OK, audacity and xmms are making sounds with no problem, via ALSA (i'm assuming)
I am using a Creative SB audigy card. Just for kicks, I tried using my MOBO's built in sound card, and got the same result.
I've done the usual google searches, and looked on the list archives, and found nothing.
Does this sound like a PD problem, or is it more likely that the configuration of ALSA is the culprit?
For what it's worth, I had an Unbuntu Warty install on the same box about a month ago with no problems. I do believe the version of PD was .37 on that install. Unbuntu was nice, but I like the choice of packages that sid is giving me, so I would like to try to get this setup going.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Ben Dembroski

Most likely this means that your ALSA setup doesn't load the ALSA sequencer module. Try "modprobe snd-seq" as root. If this helps you have to find out how to load the module automatically, in order not to do it by hand.
