Ports

KeyIn

KeyIn(*, supress_input: bool = False)

Bases: Input

Keyboard input port. Produces KeyMsg objects.

Parameters:

  • supress_input (bool, default: False ) –

    Prevent the input events from being passed to the rest of the system

is_enabled

is_enabled: bool

True if port is listening and generating messages

calls

calls: list[None | tuple[tuple, dict], list[SubscribedCall]]

Message match arguments and callables that will be called with matching incoming messages. None conditions matches any message.

pressed_keys

pressed_keys: list[Key] = []

Currently pressed keys

subscribe

subscribe(
    type: None | Container[KeyEvent] | KeyEvent = None,
    shortcut: None | Container[str] | str = None,
) -> Callable

Decorator to subscribe a callable to the input's messages.

Decorator without arguments subscribes a callable to all the input's messages.

Decorator with arguments subscribes a callable to the input's messages that match conditions set by arguments. It works the same way as message's matches method:

  1. If condition is None or omitted it matches anything.

  2. If condition equals attribute it matches the attribute.

  3. If condition is a container and contains the attribute it matches the attribute.

Examples
  1. Calls function for all MIDI port's messages:
    @midi_input_instance.subscribe
    def function(msg: MidiMsg) -> None:
        pass
    
  2. Calls function for OSC messages from specific address:
    @osc_input_instance.subscribe(address='/live/song/get/track_data')
    def function(msg: OscMsg) -> None:
        pass
    
  3. Call object instance method for MIDI port's "note on" and "note off" messages:
    midi_input_instance.subscribe((MidiType.NOTE_ON, MidiType.NOTE_OFF))(object.method)
    

Returns:

  • Callable

    Subscribed callable.

KeyOut

KeyOut()

Bases: Output

Keyboard output port. Sends KeyMsg objects.

is_enabled

is_enabled: bool

True if port is ready to send messages

send

send(msg: KeyMsg) -> None

Send the keyboard input.

Parameters:

  • msg (KeyMsg) –

    object to send
