Subject[Csnd] [OT]- Sound in Python
Not really Csound but I am investigating an algorithmic composition
system that is written in python for windows, and I would like to run
it on Linux and OSX as well (even Android?).  I am currently stuck on
a simple issue -- it includes a module called winsound which seems to
be a Windows-only thing.  It is only use in one place, to play a wav
file generated by csound
 winsound.PlaySound(filename, winsound.SND_FILENAME|winsound.SND_ASYNC)

Is there a generic replacement?

I'm no Python expert, but perhaps you could use Victor's SndObj library, or why not just use Csound's Python interface?

Hi John,
Many people swear by PyAudio, which uses Portaudio:


however…. if all you want to do is play an existing file, why not use the subprocess module in the stdlib to do it:

eg
from subprocess import call
call(["ls", "-l"])

cheers,

D
