Sydney Python Meetup July 21: Python, Perl, and Cold Beverages
Date: Thursday July 21 Time: 6:00pm-8:30pm, with drinks and food during and after. Topics: Graham Dumpleton on The Vampire mod_python extension Paul Fenwick So you want to start a business? Place: James Squires Brewhouse 2 The Promenade, King St Wharf Sydney Fee:$0.00 The Sydney Python meetup group is on this Thursday. The meeting time has been brought forward half an hour, and the formal part of the evening will commence promptly at 6:30pm. The James Squires Brewhouse managed to book the Python Meetup Group and the Perl Mongers in adjoining rooms for the same night. Everybody has promised to be nice and we'll be combining with them to hear from one of their Melbourne gurus. As always, everybody is welcome. Graham Dumpleton, author of Vampire, will be speaking first (6:30-7:30). He describes his presentation thusly: Although I'll talk a bit about the motivations behind writing Vampire and why this extra layer on top of mod_python is useful, what I want to talk about more is what I have learnt from writing Vampire. From that I would like to go on to describe a new and better way of doing this same thing for mod_python that Vampire attempted to do. This new approach moves even further away from the monolithic framework approach towards small building blocks of functionality that can be slotted together to build up a web application how you want it and not how some framework dictates you should do it. More information on Vampire can be found at http://www.dscpl.com.au/projects/vampire/ Paul Fenwick of the Melbourne Perl Mongers will also be speaking (7:30-8:30). His talk, So you want to start a business, will be presented at the SAGE-AU conference later this year, and an abstract can be found online at http://www.sage-au.org.au/conf/sage-au2005/speakers.html#fenwickabs -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html

I eventually got out ctypes and used it to access the Windows multi-media libraries. ctypes is completely amazing, especially with the code generator to turn the windows C header files into Python functions and constants. Just yesterday I discovered PyMedia, and will have to have a play with that, too. a -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Just for divergence, you can also do this with regular expressions: import re re.sub((.*),(.*), r\1 and\2, C1, C2, C3) 'C1, C2 and C3' Alan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Searching through a list of tuples

Make a .WAV file come out of the left speaker in Windows
I am writing a Python script that uses the win32all winsound package to play a .wav file. I the sound come out of the left hand speaker, but not the right hand speaker. I've look at some Python sound libraries (PySonic, Audiere, pygame), as well as any number of command line .wav file players. For differing reasons, none of these were suitable. Two possiblities are: (a) Convert the mono .WAV file to a stereo .WAV file that plays out of the left speaker only, or (b) Use the win32 ActiveX to adjust the Windows sound output balance all the way to the left. Can anybody offer suggestions as to where to start with these two? Does anybody have other solutions to suggest? Alan. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
