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?
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).
