Hi All,
For long now have tried to get Python bindings and none is there.
jlgm suggested me to try ctypes and I dived in. But there are few examples on using ctypes for new bees like me.

I tried to take lame_enc.dll (The file made me to learn ctypes :) ) as sample to play with. The sad thing is, I find only C/C++ examples of the DLL and I failed to translate them.

Here is the example:

and here is my trial; I failed to finish

import ctypes as ct
import os, sys
lame = ct.cdll.lame_enc
#start playing around
#Configure the LAME encoder the to do the conversion.
#use lame configuration structure
lame.beConfig.dwConfig = lame.BE_CONFIG_LAME


# this are the default settings for testcase.wav
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwStructVersion = 1
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwStructSize = sizeof(lame.beConfig)		
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwSampleRate = 44100 # INPUT FREQUENCY
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwReSampleRate = 0 #DON"T RESAMPLE
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.nMode = BE_MP3_MODE_JSTEREO #OUTPUT IN STREO
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwBitrate = 128 #MINIMUM BIT RATE
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.nPreset = LQP_HIGH_QUALITY #QUALITY PRESET SETTING
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwMpegVersion = MPEG1 # MPEG VERSION (I or II)
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwPsyModel = 0 #USE DEFAULT PSYCHOACOUSTIC MODEL 
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.dwEmphasis = 0 #NO EMPHASIS TURNED ON
lame.beConfig.format.LHV1.bOriginal = TRUE	 #SET ORIGINAL FLAG


#init mp3 stream
try:
    mp3 = beInitStream(beConfig, dwSamples, dwMP3Buffer, hbeStream)
    
except:
    print "Error: Cannot open encoding stream "
    sys.exit(True)
    
    
    #failed to go on due to lack of C/C++ knowledge

and here is TCL example:
http://wiki.tcl.tk/14289
and another CPP example:
http://www.creative-urge.com/ljpics/main.cpp

Please need help :S

I found that Variables in Ctypes are different from python one. How do I interface the three variable; ctypes, C++ and python?

Thanks
