Spout for Python

Based on https://github.com/spiraltechnica/Spout-for-Python

A modified Spout library using Boost::Python to enable Spout texture sharing using Python. This library is for use with Python 3.5 / 3.6 / 3.7 64bit. Now it will automatically define python version and load appropriate file.

Using the Library

Watch video use/demo >

python test.py or just check sample code in the test.py

# import library
from Library.Spout import Spout

def main() :
    # create spout object
    spout = Spout(silent = True)
    # create receiver
    spout.createReceiver('input')
    # create sender
    spout.createSender('output')

    while True :
        # check on exit
        spout.check()
        # receive data
        data = spout.receive()
        # send data
        spout.send(data)
    
if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

If want multiple receivers/senders, check test_mult.py

Parameters

Parameters and arguments for sender and receiver can be checked in the Library/Spout.py

Requirements

pip install -r requirements.txt

• pygame
• pyopengl

Additional

• Allow multiple receivers senders
• Now it can be used as any python library, just few lines of code
• Automatically define the size of receiver and data to send
• Can change receiver size on the go
• Support different receiver/sender imageFormat/type
