    Default Good library for audio playback in Python

    Right now I'm trying to build some softsynths in Python, but it hasn't been working out. It's PyMedia that I'm using. Here's what the document says, and what I've been doing.

    Code:
    import time 
    import wave 
    import pymedia.audio.sound as sound 
    f= wave.open( ' Sound files for drum machine here', 'rb' )
    sampleRate= f.getframerate()
    channels= f.getnchannels() 
    format= sound.AFMT_S16_LE
    snd= sound.Output( sampleRate, channels, format )
    s= f.readframes( 300000 )
    snd.play( s )
    Error happens here:

    Code:
    import pymedia.audio.sound as sound
    All attempts to use pymedia.audio.sound have failed. Anyone every had this problem, or should I just use Pygame instead?

    maybe one of your python environment variables wasn't set up correctly

    I am going to look into that. However, I've switched to pyglet. It lets me do the same thing with just two lines of code. Also, it is pro-pig.

    looks like you have missing modules, how did you install it?

    Firstly, wiel was right. Usually I use a combination of Portable Python on my thumb drive, and ActiveState Python install. Normally I do not use the usual setup files, instead relying on the source files. This time I got them mixed up, and forget to the copy and paste to the appropriate folder. But I had done the right thing with pyglet.
