Re: [pygame] audio programming with pygame?

[Lenard Lindstrom <len-l@xxxxxxxxx>]

Pygame has no tools for real-time sound generation. There is not 
callback feature for filling a buffer as its contents are consumed.  And 
using trying to use a file-like object to stream audio through the 
mixer.music module would likely fail because the playback thread would 
be blocked while Python generates more data.

You might look at the Python binding for csound. Then there is the Snack 
package for Python. It ties into Tk so one can do visual stuff as well.
