About your Python version

Being aware of your installed Python versions is of tremendous importance!
- You can have multiple versions of Python running on the same system.
- Always prefer a version of Python that you installed yourself (e.g. Pyenv).
- Be careful with aliases. On Windows, people often have python and py living side by side. They are not the same installation of Python.

Find the command that will summon your Python 3.10 or Python 3.11 installation (can be python, python3, python3.10, python3.11 or py depending on the system you are currently using). Now, stick to it! You don't want to scatter files everywhere on your computer or to do a multi-version install.
Don't let any error happen un-noticed! If you see an error, then there must be an error! Consider it seriously! Most people assume that seing errors is normal as long as nothing crashes. It may not be that bad but a missing package means a broken Sardine!
As funny as it may sound, I am not the owner of the sardine package on Pypi. Sardine is named sardine-system. Some people sometimes end up installing a totally unrelated tool!

Sardine is a very flexible software. It can be hard to install for that reason.
It is designed to mold around your system, not to be all bells and whistles.
You probably don't need everything but you need to understand the architecture:
- Sardine web is an optional text editor for Sardine crafted by us!
- Sardine is an asynchronous Python interpreter firing up the Sardine library.
- Sardine Core is the library for live coding in Python itself.
  - it opens / close and manage MIDI ports.
  - it communicates over the network through the OSC protocol.
  - it create musical code using a powerful patterning engine.

Sardine is experimental software. Always install from GitHub if possible!
The Pipy version is always lagging behind. We update it at every major version.
