Temper.py

What is this?

A library for implementing various kinds of routines that are used in the study of regular temperaments, a niche topic in microtonal music theory. This mostly comes down to 'integer linear algebra', such as Hermite normal forms, solving linear diophantine equations, lattice problems, etc.

It also implements a small web app using flask, where (expert) users can query and search properties for their systems of interest.

Using the library

See example.py for an example on how to do your own calculations using the library. Currently it is not distributed on pypi so you will just have to clone it.

Running the web app locally

The easiest way to run is by just making a venv and installing Flask in there. You need at least Python 3.10. Check out the tutorial here: https://flask.palletsprojects.com/en/1.1.x/installation/. After activating the venv, run pip install -r requirements.txt. Then start the app using python -u flask_app.py.
