Can you say something about why you want to do this? If you are trying to turn Audacity into a programmable sound processor, you might do better with something that is designed as a library for programmatic use. Googling 'python sound library' gives some promising hints. The Snack Sound Toolkit in particular. http://www.speech.kth.se/snack/
OTOH if what you want is some kind of macro system for Audacity then this won't help.

I did some googling, and found this in the archives of this mailing list:
import os os.system('c:\\abaqus\\5.8-14\\abaqus.exe post')
, where post was a command, *not* a file. Now, I tried something similar, since essentially what I wish to be able to do is have Audacity think I typed the 'R' key:
os.system(r'c:\progra~1\audacity/audacity.exe R')
All this managed to accomplish was Audacity opening (good) and a message from Audacity (not good):
("Could not open file: R" since i had to make it small to fit in the email message comfortably)
Any ideas on a) why this didn't work and b) what to do to make something similar work are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Orri

Actually, what I want to do is set Audacity up so that it automatically begins recording when a song plays in Windows Media Player (to begin with) and stops when the song is finished playing. I've already figured out how to force it to record and stop when I want to (though in a kind of ugly hackish way)(*), and now I'm working on learning the controls of WMP so I can test things like time left in the song, etc. I dl'ed the WMP 10 SDK but haven't really had a chance to take a thorough look at it yet, so hopefully it'll have what I need.
Cheers, Orri
