[LAD] The Pac-u-lator: A "mach" object ;-)

Hi, While not strictly Linux or "audio", I have a project that MAY interest some folks here: For gainful employment, I'm involved with a research project that uses the Pacarana sound engine from Symbolic Sound. It comes with a proprietary application, Kyma (pronounced "kee-ma"), which uses drag 'n' drop "patch bay" and a variant of Smalltalk which Symbolic Sound has named "Capytalk". But the box also understands OSC. However, my access to the box is limited. So, in order to test out my code I've built an ... emulator isn't quite the word... mock object, I guess, to acknowledge my OSC messages with appropriate responses (but no audio) when I'm not in the same room as the Pacarana. The code is written in Python 3 and lives out on: https://gitlab.com/ubuntourist/paculator Right now the CLI stuff works well enough for my purposes, and there's the rudiments of a GUI reproduction of Kyma's Virtual Control Surface (VCS). The GUI portion requires PySide which requires Qt. Also, it advertises itself via mDNS / Bonjour / Zeroconf / avahi. It lives in the newer pipenv virtual environment. I'm both proud of it and embarrassed by it. ;-)
