Re: [Python-3000] Extension modules moving to py3k

Hi, I'm still loooking for a *GOOD* python2->python3 conversion guide for C language modules. Me too, but I haven't even found not so good ones yet. I'd love to help on this (even if the only reason is selfish - I believe pywin32 will *need* it while 2.x remains important.) Who would get

Issue 2847 - the aifc module still imports the cl module in 3.0. Problem is that the cl module is gone. =) So it seems silly to have the imports lying about. This can probably be changed to critical. It shouldn't be a problem to rip everything cl-related out of aifc

[Python-3000] audio device support

2007-09-04 Thread Lars Immisch
Hi, I recently worked on Python audio device support for Linux and OS X. Not so recently, I wrote a DirectSound module for win32. Python 2 has support for various audio devices, but they have no common interface and some are broken or obsolete. Python 3000 might be a chance to improve on this.
