Skype
Hi guys, Has anybody tried or have an idea how to: 1. start up skype from python, 2. simulate an incoming call. Thanks Deo -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
RE: Skype
Yes, i picked up the skype4Py package where I can start up skype and place a call. But I want to have 2 clients which can call each other.

RE: Automating windows media player on win7
Hi mate, The fix you provided works perfect. However, if I put it in a class and import, make instance and execute in another file, the audio is not played. What am I missing? This is what I do: FileA.py class WMPlayer(): ''' @ ''' #static var #first instance is a primary , following are secondary. #you can have one primary and as many secondary as you like def __init__(self): ''' init all attributes ''' #self.mp = Dispatch(WMPlayer.OCX) #pass def play_song(self): mp = Dispatch(WMPlayer.OCX) tune = mp.newMedia(r./SleepAway.mp3) mp.currentPlaylist.appendItem(tune) mp.controls.play() sleep(1) mp.controls.playItem(tune) raw_input(Press Enter to stop playing) #sleep(5) mp.controls.stop() FileB.py from wmp.WMPlayer import * class sTest(unittest.TestCase): def test_wmplayer(self): self.wmp = WMPlayer() self.wmp.play_song() Best regards / Med venlig hilsen Deogratius Musiige Sennheiser Communications A/S Direct +45 5618 0320 -Original Message- From: Python-list [mailto:python-list-bounces+demu=senncom@python.org] On Behalf Of Deogratius Musiige Sent: 6. juni 2014 15:39 To: MRAB; python-list@python.org Subject: RE: Automating windows media player on win7 Thanks a lot mate.

RE: Automating windows media player on win7
Hi, I have the mentioned imports. And for the matter of fact I can play the audio. The problem is when I make a class with the wmplayer automating code and make an instance of this class in my testing code. When I run this instance, I do not get any audio out?

RE: Automating windows media player on win7
Thanks for the good info Chris. I'll look into the project. However, I hope that I can find a solution using OCX dispatch. The dispatch provides all the functionalities I need.

Not sure what you mean there. The one part that doesn't exist is Get playing track. But you could manage this the other way around, by not invoking a playlist at all. If you run vlc --play-and-exit some_file.wav, then when that process terminates, the track has finished. Kill the process or send Ctrl-Q to skip to the next track. Keep track (pun intended) of what file you've most recently invoked. I'm not sure how this ties in with your headset testing, though. By the look of things, the Yosemite project isn't a here it is, just deploy it solution, but you may find that there's some useful code you can borrow.

You don't need it to look like the above. :) Secondly: Is there a particular reason that you need to be automating Windows Media Player specifically? I have a similar project which works by sending keystrokes, which means it works with anything that reacts to keys; mainly, I use it with VLC. It can invoke a movie or audio file, can terminate the process, and can send a variety of commands via keys. It's designed to be used on a (trusted) LAN. Code is here: https://github.com/Rosuav/Yosemite Once something's invoked by the Yosemite project, it simply runs as normal inside VLC. Easy to debug audio problems, because they're managed the exact same way. Granted, this does assume that it's given full control of the screen (it's designed to manage full-screen video playback; in fact, my siblings are right now watching Toy Story 3 in the other room, using an old laptop driving a TV via S-Video, all managed via the above project), so it may not be ideal for background music on a computer you use for other things; but feel free to borrow ideas and/or code from there. (And for what it's worth, I use this as one of my sources of BGM when I'm coding - just let it invoke the file, then manually flip focus back to what I'm doing.)
