it says Wave_write.writeframes(data) will that mean "from array import array" is a must?
this does the job: import oil import wave from array import array a = oil.Sa() w = wave.open("current.wav", "w") w.setnchannels(2) w.setsampwidth(2) w.setframerate(44100) data = array('h') for gas in range(44100 * 5): a.breath() r = int(32767 * (a.pulse(1) + a.pulse(2) + a.pulse(3)) / 3.0) l = int(32767 * (a.pulse(4) + a.pulse(5) + a.pulse(6)) / 3.0) data.append(r) data.append(l) w.writeframes(data.tostring()) w.close() don't like array becoming so huge so tested this and it was also okay: for gas in range(44100 * 5): a.breath() data = array('h') r = int(32767 * (a.pulse(1) + a.pulse(2) + a.pulse(3)) / 3.0) l = int(32767 * (a.pulse(4) + a.pulse(5) + a.pulse(6)) / 3.0) data.append(r) data.append(l) w.writeframes(data.tostring()) but without array .. it becomes 15secs(3 times longer than was intended to be) of wav file: for gas in range(44100 * 5): a.breath() r = int(32767 * (a.pulse(1) + a.pulse(2) + a.pulse(3)) / 3.0) l = int(32767 * (a.pulse(4) + a.pulse(5) + a.pulse(6)) / 3.0) w.writeframes(hex(r)) w.writeframes(hex(l)) should i just be happy with depennding on using array? or is there a solution to make the last one work properly? tia -- SaRiGaMa's Oil Vending Orchestra is podcasting: http://sarigama.namaste.jp/podcast/rss.xml and supplying oil.py for free: http://oilpy.blogspot.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
