Sounds good
enough! Can it be used in real time ? Could i use it to
enhance LADSPA?
I doubt it. The main problem is that these C++ classes probably do a lot
of allocation/deallocation which is always a bad idea in a real time
situation.
I'm not
afraid of learning new languages anymore, but surely i don't
have the time either... it takes a while to master it.
I learnt the basics of Python in about 4 hours. Within another 3 hours I had
my first useful Python script. Obviously the more complicated stuff like the
Python numerical extension would take far more time.

Hi,

Python is a scripting language, i.e. you don't have a edit-compile-run
cycle, will, only internally.
So you can run it in the sh command line, in the python commandline or
in a real script. That's a big advantage over C++, let alone the
syntactical advantages. It's faster to write, and with the numercial
libs it's not that much slower.
ciao

extension you mentioned.
Well, now that you mention it, Python would be no better for real time
work than the C++ libs from Octave.
Looks like you'll be working from scratch.
