Greetings, I'm looking to run a deferred python script. When I run the code below I get a traceback error. After looking at reaper_python.py, it looks like RPR_defer, RPR_runloop and RPR_atexit aren't implemented, yet are documented in the [python] API.
I guess you need to run your own event loop when working with persistent python scripts in reaper? I don't need anything rendered, but tkinter would probably be the way to go yes?
And if you're wondering why I'm not using lua or eel, I need to get mousedown events while focused on reaper main window, and unfortunately the gfx window only registers mouse events within the gfx window boundaries. If someone knows how to get general mousedown events through lua (or eel) let me know!
Code:
from reaper_python import *
def main():
RPR_ShowConsoleMsg("hello?")
RPR_defer(main)
main()
Running this script will throw the error below when defer is called:
Deferred script execution error
Traceback (most recent call last): File "defer", line 1 <function main at 0x000000000FBA2C80> ^SyntaxError: invalid syntax
Thanks for any help!
Python Persistent Reascript No Defer Implementation?
Linear Mode
