Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] ctcsound7 import error

PS and if someone hits the same issue:
this was not the new version of ctcsound but an older version of 
eduardo's wrapper which is now (much better) called libcsound 
(https://github.com/csound-plugins/libcsound).
françois' new version for the CS7 API ist still called ctcsound and 
works perfectly.
for the difference between both versions françois added a paragraph at 
https://csound.com/csound-python.html.
the source file is 
https://github.com/csound/csound/blob/develop/Python/ctcsound.py
