pyfar - python packages for acoustics research#

Pyfar aims at providing signal processing methods, plotting functionality, and interfacing with audio devices and instrumentation in a unified and comprehensive framework for acoustics research. To ensure good usability, the pyfar ecosystem is developed with a strong focus on documentation. Test driven development and continuous integration ensure stable and reliable code. Pyfar packages are provided under the MIT open source license allowing unrestricted educational and commercial use.
