      <h2 id="firstpara">VamPy: Vamp Plugins in Python!</h2>

      <p>VamPy is a wrapper plugin written by Gyorgy Fazekas that
      enables you to use <a href="http://vamp-plugins.org/">Vamp
      plugins</a> written in <a href="http://python.org/">Python</a>
      in any Vamp host.</p>

      <p>It provides a (nearly) complete wrapper implementation of the
      Vamp plugin API that can be used to write efficient plugins very
      easily, taking advantage of the wide range of Python libraries
        already available for scientific work.</p>

      <p>Note that VamPy currently uses and requires Python 2.7, and
      can load only Python 2 code.</p>

      <p>Read the <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vampy/repository/entry/README">README file</a> for VamPy, or read an <a href="https://code.soundsoftware.ac.uk/projects/vampy/repository/entry/Example%20VamPy%20plugins/PySpectralFeatures.py">example Python plugin</a>.

      <p><b>To use VamPy</b>, download the VamPy wrapper plugin
      compiled for your platform, copy it to your Vamp plugin
      location, and copy any VamPy scripts &ndash; some examples are
      included &ndash; into the same place.  Then just run your normal
      Vamp host and you should see the scripts available there.  (See
      <a href="download.html#install">How to Install</a> for details
      of the Vamp plugin installation location on your system.)</p>

      <p>You will need to make sure you have a compatible version of
      Python installed: currently this means Python 2.7. Also you are
      strongly advised to
      install <a href="http://numpy.scipy.org">NumPy</a>, as most
      plugins use a part of the VamPy interface which depends on
      it.</p>

      <h3>Downloads</h3>

      <p>Pick the relevant Download link for your platform. Note that
      on Windows, you must use the build (32- or 64-bit) which matches
      the version of Python you have. If you are using a 32-bit Python
      build, then you must use the 32-bit VamPy and install it to the
      32-bit Vamp plugin location, even if you are doing so on a
      64-bit copy of Windows.</p>

      </table>

      <p>Although the VamPy wrapper plugin itself is
      platform-dependent (so you must download the correct one of the
      plugins listed above!), the Python scripts themselves are
      portable across platforms.  Publishing a VamPy plugin in Python
      could be the simplest way to make a Vamp plugin available to the
      world at large.</p>

      <p>VamPy is licensed under the same liberal terms as the Vamp
      SDK itself, and you are welcome to take the example code
      included in the VamPy package and use it to make your own Python
      plugins for any purpose you wish.</p>
