Hi all, Does pyext offer Python bindings for functions like canvas_getcurrentdir() from m_pd.h?
I looked at the source code and noticed that pyext appends the current directory to the Python search path, so that I get the current directory via sys.path[-1]. I'm a little worried, though, that this behavior may change in a future revision of pyext. Best, Peter

You are right... it's not a good idea to rely on that, also because
any other Python script in the same process changing the path will
interfere with this assumption.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for your reply!

That would be great. Not to seem greedy, but there are a few more functions in there that would be good to have, such as canvas_dspstate().
In addition (and almost more importantly), I would like to have pyext set the working directory of the Python interpreter to canvas_getcurrentdir() upon initialization. Best, Peter

Probably, i'll see what's possible.

The problem is that there is only one interpreter per process and there can be multiple py/pyext instances, hence your wish can't be fulfilled.

Hi all,
I don't think it makes sense to have python's CWD follow that of the patch - what if there are two patches in different directories? It's probably better to make things explicit via canvas_getcurrentdir().
