supercollider | An audio server, programming language, and IDE for sound synthesis and algorithmic composition | Audio Utils library

I am a fairly experienced python user, but I have no experience with OSC protocol, MAX and SuperCollider.

I am helping a friend in building a python code that should do the following:

1. receive a message from MAX via OSC
2. elaborate the message in python
3. send the elaborated message to SuperCollider

What it is not clear to me is what concerns the 1 and 3 points.

I import the following libraries

I am trying to set up Supercollider on my Raspberry Pi 3 A+ on Raspbian Lite using this guide. Jackd2 and Supercollider both compile fine, and there are no errors when I try to run Supercollider or the jack_simple_client test. However, regardless of different sample rates, buffer sizes, number of periods etc. used in booting the jack server the audio always comes out heavily distorted, with loud high pitched squealing and low popping noises.

Using the speaker-test command from ALSA creates a clean, non distorted test tone. Previously trying pyo as a DSP module would also suffer from the same issue if I used Jack, but would work fine otherwise. This leads me to believe that there is some issue in the communication between jack and ALSA. Power supply is likely not the problem as well. My installed jack version is 1.9.17 and ALSA is k5.4.83-v7+. I am new to working with Linux audio/Jack, so any help is much appreciated!

I created a very simple story generator with Python based on this comic strip: https://xkcd.com/2243/

Each time that I run the script, it generates a new random story, however, if the user chooses to run it again by writing "y", the story generated is always the same. What am I doing wrong?

This is the code:
