hi all

i'm trying to get the pyext objects to work (with the hope of using them to route data from a usb/serial adapter)

i can load the library but not the script path, the readme says to use:
"pd -lib py -path scripts"

so in version 0.39 i opened the startup section and tried adding each of these:
py -path /pyext_scripts/
py -path /pyext_scripts/scripts
(scripts are in "cd /pyext_scripts/")

but it says it can't load the lib. if i exclude the path it will load but then i can't use the objects as they can't find the scripts

is this the correct way to specify paths for libs in pd on osx?

any help appreciated.

In the libs section of startup settings, just put 'py' (without the quotes). Otherwise it will try to look for a library called 'py -path /pyext_scripts/', which doesn't exist.

On my Linux Pd 0.39-1 (and hopefully your Pd too), there is a field for 'startup flags', put the '-path /pyext_scripts/' there (without the quotes).

Theoretically it should then work.

thanks - that did it!
