view bindings/python/README.txt @ 662:01af8c56eb8d

added the first three unit tests for python bindings. currently tests have to be manually run like this: >python tests/InitialisationRelated.py ensuring that the python location can see the pyadb library (i.e. it's installed and in the search path or you've move to the local copy's location) This should run all 3 tests with some moderate output. All three tests should succeed.

to install, try:

python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Notes: 
 - a compatible build of audioDB (>=r914) needs to be linkable at runtime
 - currently only the direct C-api exposure layer is visible, so the calling semantics are a bit gross


The actual query call is a bit of a mess, but will be more intuitive from the native python layer (to be written)...
so the python bindings now have a complete path:
	>>import _pyadb
	>>aDB = _pyadb._pyadb_create("test.adb", 0,0,0)
	>>_pyadb._pyadb_status(aDB)
	>>_pyadb._pyadb_insertFromFile(aDB, "someFeats.mfcc12")
		...(add some more data)
	>>result = _pyadb._pyadb_queryFromKey(aDB, "a Key in aDB", [options])
	
	and then result has a nice dict of your results.
