[Stk] Stk and Python

[Ross Clement]

Hi everyone. Thanks for the warm greetings after my first message to the
list.

I'm curious whether there are any methods for using Stk classes from
python. While I don't often use python myself, I do seem to end up
recommending it to people who are interested in learning their first
language and want to do a lot of fun stuff with a minimum learning
curve. I'm not aware of what audio synthesis libraries are available for
python. Without thinking about things carefully, I'd suspect that using
Stk in python wouldn't be a simple matter of making python bindings for
Stk as that would mean that there would be interpreted code processing
realtime streams of samples.

I note that the "Silence" synthesis engine for python seems to have made
some use of Stk among other libraries, but haven't used this.

So, how would people summarise the current state of play in terms of
accessing Stk functions from python?
