I withdrew my original multimedia library idea and submitted a proposal for the creation of two standard Image and Sound classes. Ideally you'd hook this into the standard library's existing sound file handling modules.

Yes, in my SoC application I listed the following stdlib modules (for both sound and images): Tkinter, Tix, wave, ossaudiodev, winsound, aifc, audioop, sunau, sunaudiodev and imageop. There are also a few Mac modules that can probably use the new classes: videoreader, PixMapWrapper and some Carbon modules. IRIX goodness: al, imgfile, jpeg and gl, but I can't test these. BTW, will they be still here in Python 3.0? -- Lino Mastrodomenico E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com

I withdrew my original multimedia library idea and submitted a proposal for the creation of two standard Image and Sound classes. If the PSF accepts my proposal and if Google grants a student slot for me, I will try to implement an interface for the two classes that can work well for everyone and be easily usable from both the Python and the C side. I guess this will require a PEP, if this is the case I will volunteer to write it. And, most important, I will create patches for the appropriate standard library modules and for a lot of external libraries, to try to make the use of the two new classes really interoperable. Finally, as Greg suggested, adding the new buffer interface to the two classes can be a really good idea. I'm following with interest that discussion.
