Install sox

https://github.com/rabitt/pysox http://sox.sourceforge.net/

I make use of the above python wrapper on the Sox audio library. When installing locally I use homebrew as I am on Mac. I was wondering if you could give me some pointers for installing it on python anywhere?

Many thanks

You will not be able to install it on PythonAnywhere. However, I have created a ticket so we can include it in the next system image, which should be available in a few months.

Thanks Glenn - very helpful

My follow up question was about rubberband, which is the C library underlying -> https://github.com/bmcfee/pyrubberband https://gist.githubusercontent.com/faroit/b67c1708cdc1f9c4ddc9/raw/942bbedded22f05abab0d09b52383e7be4aee237/rubberband.rb

Would it be ok if this is added to the system image also, unless there is a way to do this one?

Thanks for all your help

Yes, that's also something that would need to go into a system image -- I've added it to the list too.

Thanks Giles. If there are any limitations or caps on what you can add at a given time my preference would be rubberband >> sox but if its fine to add both that is great.

Don't worry, we can add both (unless one of them clashes with the other pre-installed packages, which is unlikely).

UPDATE: rubberband has been installed to our new system image, "haggis", see this blog post for more information.
