Playing a WAV file
This small tutorial describes basic objects that allow you to play sound on all supported platforms. In many ways it is very similar to ossaudiodev module which is standard module for Python on many Unix based systems.
36.4 winsound -- Sound-playing interface for Windows
The winsound module provides access to the basic sound-playing machinery provided by Windows platforms. It includes functions and several constants.
How to play sound in Python?
I posted a message ("Help with my 1st Tkinter program") a few days ago complaining that Python did not have any built in basic cross platform sound capability. I was wrong (at least partly). Python comes with some sound playing ability for some platforms.

JPype - Java to Python integration
by 1 otherJPype is an effort to allow python programs full access to java class libraries. This is achieved not through re-implementing Python, as Jython/JPython has done, but rather through interfacing at the native level in both Virtual Machines.
The csv Module
The csv module is used to read data files in the CSV (comma-separated values) format, as used by Microsoft Excel and many other applications. A CSV file contains a number of rows, each containing a number of columns, usually separated by commas. An exampl

Be Pythonic
by 1 otherWhen going from one language to another, some things have to be unlearned (see Transfer of Learning). This page contains some idioms used in Python that I particularly like, and I hope others find useful in their quest for Pythonicity.

Building a GUI Application with Tkinter
In this tutorial we will use Tkinter to build a graphical user interface that we can use to maintain a simple phone list. On the way we'll play around with several Tkinter widgets thru the Python interactive prompt, hopefully getting a good feel for how a
Building the GUI with wxPython
