capriccio

A simple alarm clock module written in Python. You could set the alarm audio to any audio file, or let capriccio generate new music everyday~

Dependencies

pyglet, for playing audio. Pyglet also requires AVbin to decode mp3 files.

mingus, for SoundGen, capriccio's sound generator

fluidsynth for MIDI playback

Example (with an audio file)

import capriccio

t = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=10)
a = capriccio.Alarm(t, "alarm.mp3")

# Make sure a is retained, or else when the main thread ends, this alarm will also be released.

a.destroy() # Stop the alarm clock.

Example (let capriccio automatically generate music)

import capriccio

t = datetime.datetime.now() + datetime.timedelta(seconds=10)
a = capriccio.Alarm(t, 0, True)

# Make sure a is retained, or else when the main thread ends, this alarm will also be released.

a.destroy() # Stop the alarm clock.

or to run it directly, use

$ python capriccio.py -d <delay in seconds> -t <audio filename>
$ python capriccio.py -d <delay in seconds> -i <instrument id>
