README

This Anki add-on is a fixed version of Advanced Answer Sounds. Linux and Mac support has been added. (beta)

How `choice_simpleaudio.py` work

When the Add-on is launched, it identifies the device and version, overwrites the necessary files and saves them.

I used this to create each wheel (Github Actions):

patch: py-simple-audio
my fork: py-simple-audio-for-anki-addon

It would be ideal to put each wheel in the add-on and decompress it but the size is too large so I split it up and it becomes the spaghetti code🍝

Mac and Linux support python3.9 Linux is Python 3.9-3.13, if the Anki version of Python changes it will be broken and the code will need to be fixed.

I don't yet test it on all devices so I don't know if it works well.

Fixing Procedures

Copy and add simpleaudio_for_linux
Copy and add simpleaudio_for_mac (remove all __pycache__)
Put them in the simpleaudio folder

simpleaudio/_simpleaudio.cpython-39-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
simpleaudio/_simpleaudio.cpython-310-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
simpleaudio/_simpleaudio.cpython-311-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
simpleaudio/_simpleaudio.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
simpleaudio/_simpleaudio.cpython-313-x86_64-linux-gnu.so

Run this in __init__.py

sys.path.append(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "simpleaudio"))
from .simpleaudio_for_linux.choice_simpleaudio import load_simpleaudio
load_simpleaudio()
from . import simpleaudio as sa
