The function needs two parameters - first the file name and second the mode. The mode can be 'wb' for writing audio data or 'rb' for reading.obj = wave.open('sound.wav', 'wb')A ... Read More

Indentation is an important feature of Python syntax. Code blocks in function, class or loops are required to follow same indent level for statements in it. The tabnanny module in Python's standard library is able to detect any violation in this stipulation.This module is primarily intended to be used in command line mode with –m switch. However, it can also be imported in an interpreter session.Command line usagepython –m tabnanny –q example.pyFor verbose output use –v switchpython –m tabnanny –v example.pyFollowing functions are defined in tabnanny module for checking indentation programmatically.check()This function checks for ambiguously indented lines in a given ...
