It provides both server and client sides, supporting UDP and TCP transports with flexible concurrency modes (blocking, threading, forking, or asyncio). The library includes a dispatcher that maps OSC addresses to Python callback functions, allowing you to define handlers for incoming messages and send responses back.\n\nThe package is designed for audio/music applications, live performance control, and any scenario requiring low-latency networked messaging of structured data. It handles standard OSC argument types (integers, floats, strings, MIDI, timestamps, blobs) and supports both simple point-to-point messaging and bundled messages. With no external dependencies and active maintenance, it is ready for production use.","worth_installing":"Yes. python-osc is a stable, actively maintained, dependency-free implementation of a well-defined protocol. It has no known vulnerabilities, low install friction, and explicit public-domain licensing. Install it if you need to send or receive OSC messages from Python; the only constraint is a Python 3.10+ requirement."},"id":"python-osc","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-osc","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/python-osc.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/python-osc/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"unclear","name":"python-osc","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Open Sound Control server and client implementations in pure Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":97269,"position":13160,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.10.2"}
