Summary

oply is a Python library to emulate the Yamaha OPL FM synthesizers.

The core itself is based on the mighty Nuked OPL3 emulation library by Alexey Khokholov, ported to Python in a more object-oriented fashion, following the PEP 8 coding style.

It is currently written in pure Python; developed for 3.5, but it might be backwards-compatible down to the glorious 2.7. This allows maximum portability.

Beware that its timing performance are awful, taking a very long time to render even a few seconds of sound. I have not tried with PyPy or any other accelerators yet. Maybe in the future there will be wrappers to high performance libraries (say, written in C), with the pure Python implementation as a mere fallback.

Said that, this library was written more out of my own curiosity, and because I was lacking a way to render the IMF chunks of Wolfenstein 3D in my pywolf project, instead of relying on external binaries, although it takes hours to export all of its assets... whatever! xD
