Cannot import _soundfile

Open rchavezj opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

I was wondering if soundfile and _soundfile are two different files since my system says the module _soundfile is missing.

How did you install SoundFile?

I downloaded the git repo and placed the repo with a project I'm working on that requires soundfile

That explains the problem, then. Try running python setup.py install inside the repo to install SoundFile properly, or install it through pip. This will generate the _soundfile module (CFFI headers).

what is _soundfile? Functionality is imported from this module in much of the code base, but I don't see any module _soundfile.py on github

IIRC, _soundfile used to be where we stored the compiled libsndfile binaries. It's no longer used this way.
