What is returned by wave.readframes?
python, wave
Solution
The interactive interpreter echoes unprintable characters like that. The string contains two bytes, 0x1E and 0x00. You can convert it to an integer with `struct.unpack("<h", x)` (little endian, 2 bytes, signed).
Problem
I assign a value to a variable `x` in the following way: ``` import wave w = wave.open('/usr/share/sounds/ekiga/voicemail.wav', 'r') x = w.readframes(1) ``` When I type x I get: ``` '\x1e\x00' ``` So `x` got a value. But what is that? Is it hexadecimal? `type(x)` and `type(x[0])` tell me that `x` and `x[0]` a strings. Can anybody tell me how should I interpret this strings? Can I transform them into integer?
