14.5.1 Wave_read Objects

14.5.1 Wave_read Objects

Wave_read objects, as returned by open(), have the following methods:

close(): Close the stream, and make the instance unusable. This is called automatically on object collection.

getnchannels(): Returns number of audio channels (1 for mono, 2 for stereo).

getsampwidth(): Returns sample width in bytes.

getframerate(): Returns sampling frequency.

getnframes(): Returns number of audio frames.

getcomptype(): Returns compression type ('NONE' is the only supported type).

getcompname(): Human-readable version of getcomptype(). Usually 'not compressed' parallels 'NONE'.

getparams(): Returns a tuple (nchannels, sampwidth, framerate, nframes, comptype, compname), equivalent to output of the get*() methods.

readframes(n): Reads and returns at most n frames of audio, as a string of bytes.

rewind(): Rewind the file pointer to the beginning of the audio stream.

The following two methods are defined for compatibility with the aifc module, and don't do anything interesting.

getmarkers(): Returns None.

getmark(id): Raise an error.

The following two methods define a term ``position'' which is compatible between them, and is otherwise implementation dependent.

setpos(pos): Set the file pointer to the specified position.

tell(): Return current file pointer position.
