what am i doing wrong ? ive been trying to fix this for hours and eve trying to find a binarie to just install and skip this headache
The thing i whant is just a wworking pymedia on my python 2.6 =) someone please ?? help me somehow

As far as I know the Python25.DLL and the Python26.DLL use 2 different MS C compilers (2003 vs 2008 ?) for the Windows product. The two C versions are not compatible.

I got the Python24 binary version to work on Python25 as explained here ...

# PyMedia wave play
# download: pymedia-1.3.5.0-pre2.win32-py2.4.exe
# free from: http://pymedia.org/
# pymedia will work with python25 if you hexedit all 5 .pyd files
# in the pymedia installed folder and its subfolders
# --> find ref to python24.dll and change to python25.dll

import sys

def playWAV( fname ):
    import pymedia.audio.sound as sound
    import time, wave
    f = wave.open( fname, 'rb' )
    sampleRate = f.getframerate()
    channels = f.getnchannels()
    format = sound.AFMT_S16_LE
    print sampleRate, channels, format  # test => 8000 1 16
    snd1 = sound.Output( sampleRate, channels, format )
    #s = f.readframes( 300000 )
    #snd1.play( s )

    s = ' '
    while len(s):
        s = f.readframes( 1000 )
        snd1.play( s )

  
    # since sound module is not synchronous we want everything to be played before we exit
    while snd1.isPlaying(): time.sleep( 0.05 )


if __name__== '__main__':
    """
    if len( sys.argv )!= 2:
        print "Usage: play_wav <file>"
    else:
        playWAV( sys.argv[ 1 ] )
    """
    waveFile = 'boing.wav'
    playWAV(waveFile)

May not work for Python26 because of the switch in MS C compiler versions.

so im not able to do this ?

Added some more info to my previous post.

Depends on how deep you go into sound and media, but I started using PyGame, at least that one is still active.

well ok i can go back to pygame then , thanks
but first i whant to try the thing above !!


EDIT:
Dude thanks i tried that and it worked =)
i really appreciate your help
thanks again, and no im not using all the features only the wav playing
thanks!!!

Why not use 2.5. There is binary version of it.
Just search this forum. I posted it somewhere here :)

Now I am curious, did that work for Python26?
