[linux-audio-dev]Using python for small multimedia app ?

[Cournapeau David]

Hi there,

	I am discovering python, having looked for a matlab-like environement. 
I am wondering now if it is possible to do some small multimedia 
applications with it; more precisely, I would like to develop a 
scientific application for audio/video analysis. Basically, I need to 
show an avi
video with a synchronised waveform view of the sound, and some other 
features views, like the pitch of the film voices (the actual pitch 
detection doesn't need to be computed on the fly).

	Python seems really great for rapid developement, but I wonder if it is 
possible to play different media synchronously (the media decoding 
itself will be of course coded in C/C++) with it? Does anyone here have 
any experience with multimedia and python ?

	cheers,

	David
