Sound / Audio / Wav or mp3

[murali_mepath]

hi,

What would be the best way to play an audio(wav, mp3) file through Lianja that is 1) Cross Platform 2) If possible not too many external dependencies

I think http://www.pyglet.org/index.html should be a good solution. I managed to get it running on a machine that has python 2.7.1

But when I try to install in under Lianja -> python this way

C:\lianja\scriptinglanguages\python\pyglet114>C:\lianja\scriptinglanguages\python\python.exe setup.py install

I get the following error
The program can't start because python27.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem.

So it doesn't get installed and I end up with the following

**** Lianja Python error ****
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "lib_pgstart.py" at line 3, in <module>
ImportError: No module named pyglet

Any suggestion(s)?

Thanks & Regards,
M&M

Hi M&M,

Can you try applying the Registry changes for the Lianja-installed Python as described in this post?

hi,

I understand most part of the solution except for this

Also, this:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Python\Pyt honCore\2.7\InstallPath\InstallGroup

should have the (Default) string value of:

Python 2.7

should have the (Default) string value of:

Python 2.7

hi,

Hi Murali,

Try copying the pyglet folder directly into C:\lianja\scriptinglanguages\python\Lib\site-packages\. According to the README in the pyglet package:

There are no compilation steps during the installation; if you prefer, you can
simply add this directory to your PYTHONPATH and use pyglet without
installing it.

After doing that, I can certainly reference the module from Lianja. I'm on Win 7 64 bit.

wow...ok thanks. I tried that but I still get the same error.

The code that's needed to make the pyglet Oink

import pyglet
song = pyglet.media.load('c:\chime_up.wav')
song.play()
pyglet.app.run()

Cheers,

Hi Murali,

Did you copy the the pyglet folder - i.e. the folder under pyglet-1.1.4 - into C:\lianja\scriptinglanguages\python\Lib\site-packages\?

Yup, I did. The error that I see now is
