# PyRealtime

[![Documentation Status](https://readthedocs.org/projects/pyrealtime/badge/?version=latest)](http://pyrealtime.readthedocs.io/en/latest/?badge=latest)

PyRealtime is a package that simplifies building realtime pipeline systems Python. 

It is designed to be simple enough to start visualizing data in just a few lines and scalable enough to support more complex workflows.

It supports realtime plotting (Matplotlib), serial communication (Pyserial), and socket connections out of the box.

It uses a declarative data flow syntax, which means you specify *how* the pipeline should behave and then you *run* the pipeline.

For example, you can build a real time plot of data coming from a serial port in just three lines.

```python

import pyrealtime as prt

serial_layer = prt.SerialReadLayer(device_name='COM2', baud_rate=9600)

prt.TimePlotLayer(serial_layer, window_size=100, ylim=(0, 100))

prt.LayerManager.session().run()

```

Features:

* Serial port read/write

* Realtime plotting using Matplotlib

* UDP Socket read/write

* Audio input from microphone

* Realtime 3D visualizations using PyGame

* Data logging to a file

* Realtime playback of recorded sessions

## Installation

### Dependencies

PyRealtime explicitly requires `numpy` and `Matplotlib`. For other optional features, other packages are required.

 * `pyserial` for serial communication

 * `pygame` for 3D visualizaton

 * `pyaudio` and `scipy` for audio input
