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

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 ?
