Cyal is a Python wrapper for OpenAL, a cross platform, 3D audio API built by Creative Labs. This project aims to be compatible with any conforming OpenAL 1.1 implementation, but receives the most testing on OpenAL Soft. It is written in Cython.
Install with pip, just as you would any Python package.
pip install cyal
Binary distributions are available for Windows, macOS and Linux, and include a bundled version of OpenAL Soft.
When building from source, CMake will try to detect an existing OpenAL implementation on your system, and will use that if it finds one. If an OpenAL implementation isn't found, OpenAL Soft will be downloaded, compiled, and bundled with Cyal.
Manual installation:
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/lower-elements/cyal
cd cyal
# Install a simple wheel build tool
pip install build
# Build both the sdist and bdist (see the options to build if you only want to build one)
python -m build .
# Install the .whl file in the dist directory
This project is hosted on Github. Feel free to submit an issue if you find a bug, open a pull request to contribute, or join our Matrix room, [#cyal:lowerelements.club][matrix-room for Cyal discussion and support.
