Live's remote scripting Python API
Live's remote scripting Python API
Hi, I'm a Python developer who's VERY interested in Ableton's remote scripts functionality. How would I find out more information like documentation or perhaps write-ups of Ableton's proprietary Python interpreter? I've heard that it omits a lot of the Python standard library, and I was hoping there was some central location to find out about this kind of stuff so I won't have to reverse engineer the scripts I've been given.

Hanz Petrov's site is probably the best starting point.

Re: Live's remote scripting Python API
I'm also interested in an API that would control Live, but something official, documented, that has chances to persist across present and future versions of Live. It could be a COM API, some SDK in C/C++, no matter, given it is not something that was hacked/reversed engineered/partially documented. The GUI of Live is almost unusable for me because too complex and fonts are too small, standard keyboard shortcuts in Live are insufficient (e.g., can only start/stop whole session, not clips, no way to mute/slow/toggle tracks, configure I/Os, etc.) and reassignment works only by project, while this would need to be profiled-based. Push and APC controllers are great but take too much space. I could imagine some software tool could interact with Live using the same API as Push and APC while offering a GUI with bigger icons/fonts. This is probably a too large undertaking, probably will not work in the end, but I would like to explore and investigate if it is at all possible.
