Hi, it's in the works. (and a simple version with only one inlet and outlet is already functional for PD) see http://www.parasitaere-kapazitaeten.net/Pd/ext The flext C++ layer which allows for platform-independent programming of externals will shortly be extended to jMax as well. (and the Python object consequently be available there as well). What concerns MaxMSP i'm facing a problem starting the Python interpreter in parallel to Max. I've yet to analyze it in detail, but Max currently doesn't survive the Py_Initalize call. greetings, Thomas
